Reaction Stoichiometry CHEM 10 Review Worksheet
The problems on this worksheet are Chem 10 level problems. They are provided to assist your review of some topics
covered in Chp 3 of the Zumdahl textbook. Note that Chem 11 problems will be more involved and more rigorous than
these! An answer key is provided at the end of this worksheet.
Reaction Stoichiometry
1. Iron metal is produced from the mineral hematite (Fe2O3) and pure carbon, as given by the equation:
__Fe2O3 (s) + __C (s) → __Fe (s) + __CO2 (g) [unbalanced]
Balance this equation. Then, use the mole ratios therein to perform the calculations below.
a. How many moles of C are required to completely react with 14.251 moles of Fe2O3 (hematite)?
b. How many moles of Fe2O3 must react to generate 0.986 moles of pure iron?
c. How many moles of CO2 will be generated if 2.774 moles of carbon completely reacts?
3. The element phosphorus naturally occurs as P4 (s). It reacts readily with magnesium according to the
following equation:
__Mg (s) + __P4 (s) → __Mg3P2 (s) [unbalanced]
What mass (in g) of P4 is required to completely react with 73.4 grams of Mg?
5. Carbon tetrachloride may be produced via the reaction between methane and chlorine gases:
__CH4 (g) + __Cl2 (g) → __CCl4 (l) + __HCl (g) [unbalanced]
If this reaction generates 2.50 gallons of CCl4, how many pounds (lbs) of HCl were also generated? The
density of CCl4 is 1.5867 g/mL.
6. Aluminum reacts with bromine to produce aluminum bromide according to the following equation:
__Al (s) + __Br2 (l) → __AlBr3 (s) [unbalanced]
In the lab you perform this reaction using an excess of aluminum and 55.7 grams of bromine. You end up
collecting 60.0 grams of product aluminum bromide. What is your percent yield?
7. Iron reacts with oxygen to give iron(III) oxide according to the following balanced equation:
4 Fe (s) + 3 O2 (g) → 2 Fe2O3 (s)
Identify the limiting reactant in each of the following reactant mixtures:
a. 0.288 moles Fe and 0.240 moles O2
b. 10.0 grams Fe and 10.0 grams O2
c. 1.45 x 1024 atoms of Fe and 7.21 x 1023 molecules of O2
8. Sucrose (C12H22O11) reacts with potassium chlorate according to the following balanced equation:
C12H22O11 (s) + 8 KClO3 (s) → 12 CO2 (g) + 11 H2O (g) + 8 KCl (s)
Suppose 3.5 moles of C12H22O11 are mixed with 21.0 moles of KClO3. Identify the limiting reactant, then
calculate how many moles of each product (CO2, H2O and KCl) will be formed in this reaction.
9. Boron trifluoride reacts with hydrogen according to the following balanced equation:
2 BF3 (g) + 3 H2 (g) → 2 B (s) + 6 HF (g)
Suppose 40.00 grams of BF3 are mixed with 5.00 grams of H2.
a. Identify the limiting reactant.
b. Calculate the mass of HF generated.
c. Calculate the mass of excess reactant that remains when the reaction is complete.
d. When this reaction is performed in the laboratory, the percent yield of HF is 72.6%. What was the
experimental yield of HF?
10. Pure carbon reacts with sulfur dioxide gas producing liquid carbon disulfide and carbon monoxide gas.
a. Write the balanced equation for this reaction.
b. What mass of carbon monoxide will be produced if 40.0 grams of carbon are allowed to react with 95.0 grams
of sulfur dioxide? What mass of excess reactant is left over?
Answer Key
8. C12H22O11 (s) + 8 KClO3 (s) → 12 CO2 (g) + 11 H2O (l) + 8 KCl (s)
LR is KClO3, 31.5 moles CO2, 28.9 moles H2O and 21.0 moles KCl will be produced
