Stoichiometry  Simple

1. Lead(II) sulfide, PbS, reacts with oxygen gas to produce lead(II) oxide and sulfur dioxide. If 0.500 moles of O2 were consumed using this chemical reaction, how many grams of lead(II) oxide would be produced? (Ar: O=16; Pb=207; S=32) Ans: 74.3  

2 PbS + 3 O2  2 PbO + 2 SO2
2. Potassium chlorate, KClO3, decomposes when heated to produce potassium chloride and oxygen gas. If 2.50 grams of KClO3 were heated in a test tube, how many grams of oxygen gas should be given off? (Ar: O=16; Cl=35.5; K=39) Ans: 0.980 g

2 KClO3  2 KCl + 3 O2

Percent Yield

4 NH3 + 5 O24 NO + 6 H2O
4. For the balanced equation shown below, if the reaction of 77.0 grams of CaCN2 produces 27.1 grams of NH3, what is the percent yield? (Ar: O=16; N=14; H=1; Ca=40; C=12) Ans: 82.8

CaCN2 + 3 H2O  CaCO3 + 2 NH3
5. For the balanced equation shown below, if the reaction of 91.3 grams of C3H6 produces at 81.3% yield, how many grams of CO2 would be produced? (Ar: O=16; H=1; C=12) Ans: 233

2 C3H6 + 9 O2 6 CO2 + 6 H2O
6.  For the balanced equation shown below, if the reaction of 20.7 grams of CaCO3 produces 6.81 grams of CaO, what is the percent yield?(Ar: O=16; Ca=40; C=12) Ans: 58.75

(Ar: O=16; Al=27; Na=23; S=32; H=1) Ans: 42.42%

Al2(SO3)3    +  6 NaOH    3Na2SO3    +   2 Al(OH)3

Limiting Reactant

 

8.       When copper (II) chloride reacts with sodium nitrate, copper (II) nitrate and sodium chloride are formed. If 15 grams of copper (II) chloride react with 20 grams of sodium nitrate, how much sodium chloride can be formed?

CuCl2     +      NaNO3    Cu(NO3)2    +      NaCl

9.

 

 

Aluminum reacts with oxygen gas to produce aluminum oxide.

4 Al + 3 O2  2 Al2O3

Sketch 2 containers representing beakers, one on the left and another on the right of an arrow. Draw 10 atoms of aluminum and 6 molecules of oxygen gas in the container on the left. In the right container, sketch the contents after the reaction is complete.(Ar: Al=27; O=16)
 
  1. What is the limiting reactant? 
  2.  How many atoms or molecules of the excess reactant remain?
