Which of the following best describes stoichiometry?
The quantitative calculation of reactants and products in a chemical reaction
The study of chemical bonding between atoms
The measurement of reaction rates
The analysis of atomic structure
Stoichiometry involves calculating the amounts of reactants and products based on a balanced chemical equation. It is fundamental for predicting yields and scaling reactions.
What is a mole in chemistry?
A unit that represents 6.022 x 10^23 particles
A unit for measuring volume in liters
A type of chemical reaction
A measure of energy
A mole is a basic unit in chemistry representing 6.022 x 10^23 particles of a substance. It is essential for converting between mass and number of particles in stoichiometric calculations.
What is the molar mass of water (H2O)?
18 g/mol
16 g/mol
20 g/mol
10 g/mol
Water's molar mass is calculated by adding the masses of two hydrogen atoms (approximately 1 g/mol each) and one oxygen atom (approximately 16 g/mol), resulting in 18 g/mol. This conversion is key for many stoichiometric calculations.
How do you convert grams to moles in stoichiometry?
Divide the mass by the molar mass
Multiply the mass by the molar mass
Divide the mass by the number of particles
Multiply the mass by Avogadro's number
To convert grams to moles, you divide the mass of the substance by its molar mass. This fundamental step is crucial for starting any stoichiometric calculation.
What law is applied when balancing chemical equations?
Law of Conservation of Mass
Law of Constant Composition
Boyle's Law
Charles's Law
Balancing chemical equations is based on the Law of Conservation of Mass, which states that mass is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction. This ensures the same number of each atom is present on both sides of the equation.

What is the limiting reagent in a chemical reaction?
The reactant that is completely consumed first, limiting the amount of product formed
The reactant that is present in excess
The reactant with the highest molar mass
The reactant that reacts the slowest
The limiting reagent is the reactant that is entirely consumed during the reaction, thus determining the maximum amount of product that can be formed. Identifying it is crucial for calculating the theoretical yield.
How many moles are in 36 g of water (H2O)?
2 moles
1 mole
3 moles
0.5 moles
To find the number of moles, divide the mass of water by its molar mass; 36 g divided by 18 g/mol equals 2 moles. This conversion is central to stoichiometric calculations.
Given the balanced equation: 2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O, how many moles of water are produced from 4 moles of H2?
4 moles
2 moles
6 moles
8 moles
The stoichiometry of the reaction shows that 2 moles of H2 yield 2 moles of H2O. Thus, 4 moles of H2 will produce 4 moles of water when oxygen is available in excess.
If all reactants in a reaction are doubled, how does the amount of product change?
The amount of product doubles
The amount of product quadruples
The amount of product remains unchanged
The reaction yield decreases by half
Doubling every reactant under the same conditions will result in a doubling of the products, as stoichiometric relationships are directly proportional when reactants are scaled equally. This demonstrates the linear nature of chemical reactions.
How is percent yield calculated in a chemical reaction?
By dividing the actual yield by the theoretical yield and multiplying by 100%
By dividing the theoretical yield by the actual yield and multiplying by 100%
By subtracting the actual yield from the theoretical yield
By adding the actual and theoretical yields and dividing by 2
Percent yield is calculated by taking the actual yield, dividing it by the theoretical yield, and multiplying the result by 100%. This metric assesses the efficiency of a reaction compared to its maximum possible yield.
What does the theoretical yield represent in a chemical reaction?
The maximum amount of product possible under perfect conditions
The actual amount of product obtained from an experiment
The yield after accounting for experimental losses
The starting amount of a reactant
The theoretical yield is the calculated maximum amount of product that can be formed from given reactants under ideal conditions. It serves as a benchmark for comparing the actual yield obtained from an experiment.
If an experiment produces 8 g of product while the theoretical yield is 12 g, what is the percent yield?
66.7%
75%
80%
90%
Percent yield is calculated as (8 g ÷ 12 g) × 100%, which gives approximately 66.7%. This percentage indicates the efficiency of the reaction compared to the maximum possible product formation.
Which of the following is the balanced equation for the combustion of methane (CH4)?
CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O
CH4 + O2 -> CO2 + H2O
2CH4 + O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O
CH4 + 3O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O
The correct balanced equation for methane combustion is CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O, which ensures conservation of atoms. The coefficients accurately represent the molar relationships between reactants and products.
How many molecules are in one mole of a substance?
6.022 x 10^23 molecules
6.022 x 10^22 molecules
1.00 x 10^23 molecules
1.00 x 10^24 molecules
One mole of any substance contains Avogadro's number, approximately 6.022 x 10^23 molecules. This constant is essential in converting between the mass of a substance and the number of constituent particles.
Why is it necessary to balance chemical equations before performing stoichiometric calculations?
Because balanced equations provide the mole ratios required for accurate conversions
Because balancing equations adjusts the energy changes in reactions
Because it identifies the type of reaction occurring
Because it changes the state of matter of the reactants
Balanced chemical equations supply the necessary mole ratios between reactants and products. These ratios are vital for accurate stoichiometric calculations and predicting the amounts of product formed.

In a reaction, 5.00 g of compound A reacts with excess compound B to produce 7.50 g of product C. If the molar mass of A is 50 g/mol and the reaction stoichiometry indicates a 1:1 mole ratio between A and C, with C having a molar mass of 100 g/mol, what is the percent yield of the reaction?
75%
50%
100%
150%
First, calculate the moles of A: 5.00 g ÷ 50 g/mol = 0.1 mol. With a 1:1 ratio, the theoretical yield of C is 0.1 mol × 100 g/mol = 10.0 g. The percent yield is then (7.50 g ÷ 10.0 g) × 100% = 75%.
For the reaction: 4Fe + 3O2 -> 2Fe2O3, if 360 g of O2 are reacted with an excess of Fe, what is the theoretical yield of Fe2O3 in grams? (Molar masses: O2 = 32 g/mol, Fe2O3 = 160 g/mol)
1200 g
800 g
1500 g
1600 g
First, determine the moles of O2: 360 g ÷ 32 g/mol = 11.25 mol. According to the reaction, 3 moles of O2 yield 2 moles of Fe2O3, so 11.25 mol O2 produces 7.5 mol Fe2O3. Multiplying by its molar mass (7.5 mol × 160 g/mol) gives a theoretical yield of 1200 g.
During a two-step synthesis, a chemist obtains an intermediate with an 80% yield in the first step (theoretical yield = 5.00 g) and then a second step with an 80% yield. What is the overall percent yield?
64%
80%
160%
100%
The overall yield is found by multiplying the yields of the individual steps: 0.80 (first step) × 0.80 (second step) = 0.64, or 64%. This calculation reflects the compounded efficiency of a multi-step process.
In a neutralization reaction, 250 mL of 0.200 M NaOH reacts completely with HCl to produce NaCl and water. How many grams of NaCl are produced? (Molar mass of NaCl = 58.5 g/mol)
2.93 g
0.293 g
5.85 g
1.46 g
First, calculate the moles of NaOH: 0.250 L × 0.200 M = 0.050 mol. In a 1:1 reaction with HCl, 0.050 mol of NaCl is formed. Multiplying by the molar mass of NaCl (0.050 mol × 58.5 g/mol) gives approximately 2.93 g.
A 0.500 mol sample of a gas at STP occupies 11.2 L. If this gas is compressed to 2.24 L at the same temperature, what is its new concentration in moles per liter?
0.223 M
2.24 M
0.0446 M
1.00 M
Concentration is obtained by dividing the number of moles by the volume in liters. Compressing 0.500 mol into 2.24 L results in a concentration of 0.500 ÷ 2.24 ≈ 0.223 M, which demonstrates the inverse relationship between volume and concentration.
