Stoichiometry: Introduction Practice Tests

These Grade 10 Science practice tests introduce moles, Avogadro constant, molar mass, particle and mass conversions, balanced-equation mole ratios, limiting reactants, theoretical yield, percent yield, and empirical formulas.

Skills covered

  • Using the mole as a counting unit and applying Avogadro constant to particles and formula units
  • Calculating molar mass from chemical formulas and converting among grams, moles, and particles
  • Reading balanced-equation coefficients as mole ratios and solving introductory reaction-amount problems
  • Identifying limiting and excess reactants and calculating theoretical and percent yield
  • Using composition data to determine empirical and molecular formulas

How to use these practice tests

Write the balanced equation, identify the known and unknown units, and use dimensional analysis. Keep units visible, use molar mass for grams-to-moles conversion, and use coefficients only after the equation is balanced.
