Circle the best answer, or write your answer on the line.

  1. 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O (an equation only). H₂O has coefficient 2 and O₂ 1. How many moles of O₂ make 5 mol of water, Esme?

  2. Photosynthesis: 6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂. Glucose has coefficient 1 and H₂O 6. How many moles of water make 0.3 mol of glucose, Jun?

  3. Respiration: C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O. O₂ has coefficient 6 and glucose 1. How many moles of glucose react with 1.2 mol of O₂, Kira?

  4. Bo says 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O shows 2 g of hydrogen meeting 1 g of oxygen. Which reply fits, Luz?

    • Disagree: it shows 2 mol of H₂ for each 1 mol of O₂
    • Agree: the coefficients are the grams of each gas that react
    • Agree: the equation lists the masses
  5. Kira says respiration uses 1 mol of O₂ for each mole of glucose. Which reply fits, Milo?

    • Agree: each substance in any equation reacts 1 to 1
    • Agree: the subscripts carry the ratio
    • Disagree: 6 mol of O₂ for each mole of glucose
  6. Jun says that in photosynthesis 6 g of CO₂ makes 1 g of glucose. Which reply fits, Noah?

    • Agree: 6 to 1 holds in any unit
    • Agree: the coefficients give the grams
    • Disagree: 6 mol of CO₂ makes 1 mol of glucose
  7. In respiration (1 glucose : 6 CO₂), how many CO₂ molecules form from 6.022 × 10²³ glucose molecules, Ren?

    • 6.022 × 10²³
    • 3.6132 × 10²⁴
    • 1.0037 × 10²³
  8. In photosynthesis (6 CO₂ : 6 O₂), how many O₂ molecules form when 3.6132 × 10²⁴ CO₂ molecules are used, Tala?

    • 3.6132 × 10²⁴
    • 6.022 × 10²³
    • 2.1679 × 10²⁵
  9. Respiration (C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O) uses 3 mol of O₂. How many moles of water form, and of glucose are used, Zee?

    • 3 mol of water; 0.5 mol of glucose
    • 3 mol of water; 3 mol of glucose
    • 0.5 mol of water; 3 mol of glucose
  10. In 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O, 6 mol of water form. How many moles of each reactant were used, Ari?

    • 6 mol of H₂ and 3 mol of O₂
    • 6 mol of each reactant
    • 3 mol of H₂ and 6 mol of O₂

About this worksheet

Mole ratios from a balanced equation. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can read mole ratios from a balanced equation's coefficients (2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O: 2 : 1 : 2).
  • I can find the moles of one substance from the moles of another, with the wanted substance on top of the ratio.
  • I can tell coefficients (moles) from subscripts (atoms in one molecule) and check that an equation is balanced.

Standard: HS-PS1-7

Words to know

coefficient: The number in front of a formula, counting moles or molecules

subscript: The small number after an atom, counting atoms in one molecule

mole ratio: The ratio of moles from an equation's coefficients

balanced: The same count of each atom on both sides

Common mistakes

Your child turned the mole ratio over. Put the substance you want on top: mol O₂ ÷ mol H₂ = 1 ÷ 2.

Your child read a subscript as the mole ratio. The big numbers in front, the coefficients, give the ratio.

Your child treated every substance as 1 to 1. Read the coefficients: respiration uses 6 O₂ for each glucose.

Questions parents ask

What is the most common mistake with mole ratios from a balanced equation?

Your child turned the mole ratio over. Put the substance you want on top: mol O₂ ÷ mol H₂ = 1 ÷ 2.

Are these 10th grade science worksheets free to print?

Yes. All 6 printable versions at each level are free to print, with the answer key, and no account is needed.
