Worksheet 5
Additional Stoichiometry problems
Remember
 Clearly identify the given information and the required answer
 1 mole = 22.4 dm3 at STP for any gas but not for solids, liquids, or solutions
 Density = mass/volume
 Be careful to distinguish between the mass of a solution and the mass of solute dissolved in a
solution
 
Solve the following problems in the spaces provided. Show your work clearly and clearly label and cancel
units for each step of your calculations
 
1.       Calcium carbonate reacts with hydrochloric acid according to the following reaction:
CaCO3 (s) + 2 HCl (aq) à CaCl2 (aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g)
How many grams of calcium carbonate would be required to neutralize 50.0 cm3 of 8.00 M HCl?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2.       Copper reacts with nitric acid according to the following reaction:
3 Cu (s) + 8 HNO3 (aq) à 3 Cu(NO3)2 (aq) + 2 NO (g) + 4 H2O (l)
If a pre 1982 copper penny contains 3.10 grams of copper, what volume of 8.00 M nitric acid is required to
exactly consume it? What volume of nitrogen monoxide gas measured at STP would be produced? (Remember
that 1 mole of any gas measured at STP = 22.4 dm3)

following reaction:
C7H6O3 (s) + CH3OH (l) à C8H8O3 (s) + H2O (l)
Salicyclic acid Methanol methylsalicyclate
