Stoichiometry Math Practice Problems

In each problem below, balance the equation first. Then solve the problem. If you want to make this as
much like a test as possible, only use your periodic table and a calculator to solve these problems.

1. How many moles of sulfur trioxide will be produced if 3.2 moles of sulfur dioxide react with an
excess of oxygen gas?

2. How many moles of oxygen will be needed in the previous problem?

3. If 32.9 g of N2H4 reacts with an excess of N2O4, the products will be nitrogen and water. What
mass of water will be produced?

4. How many liters of chlorine gas at STP are needed to react with 123.4g of chromium to produce
chromium (III) chloride?

5. If 34.2L of chlorine gas at STP are reacted with an excess of chromium, how many molecules of
chromium (III) chloride will be produced? (This is the same balanced equation as #3)

6. If 345 mL a 0.452 M solution of NaCl reacts with barium (Ba) to produce BaCl2 and sodium, how
many grams of solid sodium will be produced?

7. If 23.5 g of sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO3) react with an excess of acetic acid (CH3COOH),
how many liters of carbon dioxide gas will be produced? Assume the reaction takes place at
room temperature (22.0°C) and 99.8 kPa of pressure. (The other products are NaCH3COO and
water. You will need to know those to balance the equation.)

8. What is the limiting reactant when 23.20g of N2 reacts with 20.11g of H2 to produce NH3?

9. How many grams of hydrogen gas will be produced from the reaction of 30.0g of magnesium
and 82.0 g of HCl? The products are magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas. (Find the limiting
reactant first!)

10. Calculate the percentage yield if 500. g of sulfur trioxide react with excess water to produce
some amount of sulfuric acid (H2SO4). 575 g of sulfuric acid was actually recovered in the lab.
(Hint: Calculate the theoretical yield first!)
