    1. What mass of calcium hydroxide is formed when 10.0 g of calcium oxide
    reacts with 10.0 g of water?
    CaO + H2O → Ca(OH) 2

    Moles of CaO = 10.0/56 = 0.179 mol


    Moles of H2O =10.0/18 = 0.556 mol
    0.179 mol of CaO reacts with 0.179 mol of H2O,
    ∴ H2O is in excess; CaO is limiting reagent
    moles of Ca(OH)2 formed = 0.179 mol
    mass of Ca(OH)2 = 74 x 0.179 = 13.2 g

    Answer: 13.2 g

    2. What mass of sodium fluoride is formed when 2.30 g of sodium reacts with
    2.85 g of fluorine?
    2Na + F2 → 2NaF

    Moles of Na = 2.30/23 = 0.100 mol


    Moles of F2 = 2.85/38 = 0.075 mol
    0.100 mol of Na reacts with 0.050 mol of F2,
    ∴ F2 is in excess; Na is limiting reagent
    moles of NaF formed = 0.100 mol
    mass of NaF = 42 x 0.100 = 4.20 g

    Answer: 4.20 g

    3. What mass of copper is formed when 2.00 g of copper(II) oxide reacts with
    1.00 g of hydrogen?
    CuO + H2 → Cu + H2O

    Moles of CuO = 2.00/79.5 = 0.0252 mol


    Moles of H2 = 1.00/2 = 0.500 mol
    0.0252 mol of CuO reacts with 0.0252 mol of H2,
    ∴ H2 is in excess; CuO is limiting reagent
    moles of Cu formed = 0.0252 mol
    mass of Cu = 63.5 x 0.0252 = 1.60 g

    Answer: 1.60 g

    4. What mass of magnesium bromide is formed when 1.00 g of magnesium


    reacts with 5.00 g of bromine?
    Mg + Br2 → MgBr2

    Moles of Mg = 1.000/24 = 0.0417 mol


    Moles of Br2 = 5.00/160 = 0.03125 mol
    0.03125 mol of Mg reacts with 0.03125 mol of Br2,
    ∴ Mg is in excess; Br2 is limiting reagent
    moles of MgBr2 formed = 0.03125 mol
    mass of MgBr2 = 184 x 0.03125 = 5.75 g

    Answer: 5.75 g

    5. What mass of aluminium chloride is formed when 13.5 g of aluminium reacts
    with 42.6 g of chlorine?
    2Al + 3Cl2 → 2AlCl3

    Moles of Al = 13.5/27 = 0.500 mol


    Moles of Cl2 = 42.6/72 = 0.600 mol
    0.400 mol of Al reacts with 0.600 mol of Cl 2,
    ∴ Al is in excess; Cl2 is limiting reagent
    moles of AlCl3 formed = 0.400 mol
    mass of AlCl3 = 133.5 x 0.400 = 53.4 g

    Answer: 53.4 g

    6. What mass of iron is formed when 8.00 g of iron(III) oxide reacts with 2.16 g
    of aluminium?
    Fe2O3 + 2Al → 2Fe + Al2O3

    Moles of Fe2O3 = 8.00/160 = 0.050 mol


    Moles of Al = 2.16/27 = 0.080 mol
    0.040 mol of Fe2O3 reacts with 0.080 mol of Al,
    ∴ Fe2O3 is in excess; Al is limiting reagent
    moles of Fe formed = 0.080 mol
    mass of Fe = 56 x 0.080 = 4.48 g

    Answer: 4.48 g
