For the reaction CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O, what mass m of CO2 forms from 25 g of CH4? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
Stoichiometry worksheet with answers
1.Easy
M(CH4) = 16.04 g/molM(CO2) = 44.01 g/mol
m = g
2.Easy
For the reaction C6H12O6 → 2C2H5OH + 2CO2, what mass m of CO2 forms from 100 g of C6H12O6? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
M(C6H12O6) = 180.16 g/molM(CO2) = 44.01 g/mol
m = g
3.Medium
8 g of Al and 64 g of Cl2 react according to 2Al + 3Cl2 → 2AlCl3. What mass m of AlCl3 can form?
M(Al) = 26.98M(Cl2) = 70.9M(AlCl3) = 133.33 g/mol
m = g
4.Medium
16 g of Mg and 16 g of O2 react according to 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO. What mass m of MgO can form?
M(Mg) = 24.31M(O2) = 32M(MgO) = 40.3 g/mol
m = g
5.Hard
In the reaction C6H12O6 → 2C2H5OH + 2CO2, 30 g of C6H12O6 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 10.74 g of C2H5OH is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(C6H12O6) = 180.16 g/molM(C2H5OH) = 46.07 g/molactual: 10.74 g
Y = %
6.Hard
In the reaction 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO, 12 g of Mg reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 18.1 g of MgO is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(Mg) = 24.31 g/molM(MgO) = 40.3 g/molactual: 18.1 g
Y = %
Answer key
- 1. m = 68.59 g
