Stoichiometry
1. When heated, potassium chlorate decomposes into potassium chloride and oxygen gas:
2 KClO3(s) → 2 KCl(s) + 3 O2(g)

a. How many moles of O2 gas will be produced from 10.0 g of KClO3?

b. What is the mass of this amount of O2 gas?

2. The reaction of aluminium and iron(III) oxide gives off a great deal of heat and light:
2 Al(s) + Fe2O3(s) → 2 Fe(s) + Al2O3(s)

a. What mass of Fe2O3(s) is required to react completely with 1.0 kg of Al(s)?

b. What mass of Fe(s) will be produced based on the quantities in a)?

3. The Marsh test was used historically to detect arsenic in cases of suspected poisoning:
As2O3(s) + 6 H2(g) → 2 AsH3(g) + 3 H2O(g)

A sample contains 640 mg of As2O3. What mass of AsH3 will be isolated from the above
reaction? Assume that there is enough H2 to react with all the As2O3.

4. Glucose can be fermented by yeast to produce ethanol by the following reaction:

C6H12O6(s) → 2 C2H6O(l) + 2 CO2(g)

a. What mass of glucose is needed to produce 800 g of ethanol?

b. What mass of CO2 will be produced by the fermentation of the amount of glucose in
part a?

5. Titanium(IV) chloride reacts spectacularly with water to form titanium dioxide and hydrogen
chloride gas:
TiCl4(l) + 2 H2O(g) → TiO2(s) + 4 HCl(g)

a. What mass of water vapour is needed to react with 4.0 g of TiCl4?

b. How many moles of HCl(g) will be formed given the amounts in a)?

ANSWERS
This worksheet requires only a basic understanding of mole ratios and stoichiometric amounts.

1.
1 mol KClO 3 molO
a. 10.0 g KClO3 × 122.5 g KClO3 × 2 mol KClO
2
= 0.122 mol O2
3 3
32.00 g O2
b. 0.1224 mol O2 × = 3.92 g O2 (answers may vary from 3.90 – 3.92 g due to
1 mol O2
rounding)

2.
1 mol Al 1 mol Fe2 O3 159.69 g Fe2 O3
a. 1000 g Al × × × = 2959 g Fe2 O3
26.98 g Al 2 mol Al 1 mol Fe2 O3
b. Can use either Al or Fe2O3 (stoichiometric amounts).
1 mol Al 2 mol Al 55.845 g Fe
1000 g Al × 26.98 g Al × 2 mol Fe × = 2070 g Fe
1 mol Fe
1 mol Fe O3 2 mol Fe 55.845 g Fe
2959 g Fe2 O3 × 159.69 g Fe2 × 1 mol Fe × = 2070 g Fe
2 O3 2 O3 1 mol Fe
3.
1 mol As O3 2 mol AsH3 77.95 g AsH3
0.640 g As2 O3 × 197.84 g As2 × 1 mol As × = 0.504 g = 504 mg AsH3
2 O3 2 O3 1 mol AsH3

4.
1 mol C H O 1 mol C6 H12 O6 180.16 g C6 H12 O6

4 4 1 mol H2 O
b. Can use either TiCl4 or H2O (stoichiometric amounts):
1 mol TiCl 4 mol HCl
4.0 g TiCl4 × 189.68 g TiCl4 × 1 mol TiCl = 0.084 mol HCl
4 4
1 mol H2 O 4 mol HCl
0.76 g H2 O × 18.02 g H O × 2 mol H O = 0.084 mol HCl
2 2
