Directions: Analyze carefully and solve the following problems correctly and show
your solution.
1. Calculate the mass in grams of iodine (I2) (at. wt. = 127 g) that will react
completely with 20.4 g of aluminum (Al) (at. wt.= 27 g) to produce aluminum
iodide (AlI3). Given the balanced chemical equation.
2 moles 3 moles 2 moles
27 g/mol 254 g/mol 408 g/mol
54 g 762 g 816 g
2 Al + 3 I2 → 2 AlI3
20.4 g ?g

  ? g I2 = 20.4 g Al x = 288 g I2

2. Acetylene gas (C2H2) can be generated in the laboratory by adding calcium
carbide (CaC2) to excess water (H2O) in the following balanced chemical
equation:
1 mole 1 mole 1 mole 1 mole
64 g/mole 18 g/mol 26 g/mol 56 g/mol
64 g 18 g 26 g 56 g
CaC2 + H2O → C2H2 + CaO
? g 0.20 mole
What mass in grams of CaC2 will be needed to produce 0.20 mole C2H2?
Given atomic mass: Ca = 40 g, C = 12 g, H = 1 g, O = 16 g.

 ? g CaC2 = 0.20 mole C2H2 x x =

12.8 g CaC2

3. A sample of sodium chloride (NaCl) with a mass of 22 grams is made to react
with 21 grams of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) given the balanced chemical equation:
2 moles 1 mole 1 mole 2 moles
58 g/mol 98 g/mol 142 g/mol 36 g/mol
116 g 98 g 142 g 72 g
2 NaCl + H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + 2 HCl
22 g 21 g ? g
a) Which is the limiting reagent?
b) How many grams of Na2SO4 will be produced?
If NaCl is the limiting reagent, how much mass in g H2SO4 is needed:
  ? g H2SO4 = 22 g NaCl x = 18.6 g H2SO4 ∴
  𝑵𝒂𝑪𝒍 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑳𝑹 .

  ? g Na2SO4 = 22 g NaCl x =  26.9 g Na2SO

4. What mass of the product was recovered if the calculated yield is 85.0 g and the
percent yield was 64.9 %?
given: 85.0 g = theoretical or computed or calculated yield
64.9 % = percent yield

unknown : ? g = mass of product recovered or actual yield

  % yield = x 100

  64.9 % = x 100

  = actual yield = 55.2 g product
