For the reaction 2Al + 3Cl2 → 2AlCl3, what mass m of AlCl3 forms from 100 g of Al? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
Stoichiometry worksheet with answers
1.Easy
M(Al) = 26.98 g/molM(AlCl3) = 133.33 g/mol
m = g
2.Easy
For the reaction CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O, what mass m of CO2 forms from 32 g of CH4? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
M(CH4) = 16.04 g/molM(CO2) = 44.01 g/mol
m = g
3.Medium
16 g of Na and 32 g of Cl2 react according to 2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl. What mass m of NaCl can form?
M(Na) = 22.99M(Cl2) = 70.9M(NaCl) = 58.44 g/mol
m = g
4.Medium
30 g of Na and 8 g of Cl2 react according to 2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl. What mass m of NaCl can form?
M(Na) = 22.99M(Cl2) = 70.9M(NaCl) = 58.44 g/mol
m = g
5.Hard
In the reaction CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O, 24 g of CH4 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 55.97 g of CO2 is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(CH4) = 16.04 g/molM(CO2) = 44.01 g/molactual: 55.97 g
Y = %
6.Hard
In the reaction 2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl, 10 g of Na reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 13.98 g of NaCl is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(Na) = 22.99 g/molM(NaCl) = 58.44 g/molactual: 13.98 g
Y = %
Answer key
- 1. m = 494.2 g
- 2. m = 87.8 g
- 3. m = 40.67 g
- 4. m = 13.19 g
- 5. Y = 85 %
- 6. Y = 55 %
