Stoichiometry Review – Part 2

1. Balance the following equation, then show the balanced equation as a particle drawing:

______ KCl + ______ H3P  _______ K3P + _______ HCl

2. How does your particle drawing above demonstrate the law of conservation of mass?

3. The reactants are shown as a particle drawing for the following reaction. Balance the
equation, then draw the products and any excess reactants in the second box.

______N2 + ______H2  ________ NH3

Reactants Products and Excess Reactants

Use: N2 =
H2 =

4. What is percent yield? How do you calculate percent yield?

5. Give two reasons why a reaction might have a percent yield less than 100%. Give two
reasons why a reaction might have a percent yield more than 100%. (Don’t say human
error or bad math! You need a more detailed answer than that!)

6. In a balanced equation, what do the coefficients represent?
