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 CaCO3 → CaO + CO2, what mass m of CO2 forms from 50 g of CaCO3? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
M(CaCO3) = 100.09 g/molM(CO2) = 44.01 g/mol
m = g
3.Medium
16 g of Na and 24 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
12 g of Fe2O3 and 20 g of CO react according to Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2. What mass m of Fe can form?
M(Fe2O3) = 159.69M(CO) = 28.01M(Fe) = 55.85 g/mol
m = g
5.Hard
In the reaction CaCO3 → CaO + CO2, 24 g of CaCO3 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 11.83 g of CaO is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(CaCO3) = 100.09 g/molM(CaO) = 56.08 g/molactual: 11.83 g
Y = %
6.Hard
In the reaction 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO, 10 g of Mg reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 14.09 g of MgO is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(Mg) = 24.31 g/molM(MgO) = 40.3 g/molactual: 14.09 g
Y = %
Answer key
- 1. m = 68.59 g
- 2. m = 21.99 g
- 3. m = 39.56 g
- 4. m = 8.394 g
- 5. Y = 87.97 %
- 6. Y = 84.99 %
