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

  1. In respiration, C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O, the coefficients are 1 for glucose and 6 for O₂. How many moles of O₂ react with 2 mol of glucose, Bo?

  2. In photosynthesis, 6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂, the coefficients are 6 for CO₂ and 1 for glucose. How many moles of glucose form from 3 mol of CO₂, Kira?

  3. In 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O, what is the mole ratio of H₂ to O₂, Jun?

    • 2 mol H₂ to 1 mol O₂
    • 2 mol H₂ to 2 mol O₂
    • 1 mol H₂ to 2 mol O₂
  4. In C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O, how many moles of CO₂ form from each mole of glucose, Luz?

    • 6 mol
    • 1 mol
    • 2 mol, from the O₂
  5. In 6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂, what is the mole ratio of CO₂ to glucose, Milo?

    • 1 mol CO₂ to 1 mol glucose
    • 6 mol CO₂ to 1 mol glucose
    • 1 mol CO₂ to 6 mol glucose
  6. In 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O, what does the 2 in front of H₂O mean, Noah?

    • 2 mol, or 2 molecules, of water form
    • 2 grams of water form
    • Each water molecule has 2 H atoms
  7. In 2H₂O, which number tells how many H atoms are in one molecule, Pia?

    • The 2 in front, the coefficient
    • The small 2 after H, the subscript
    • Neither: water has no hydrogen
  8. In NaHCO₃ + CH₃COOH → CH₃COONa + H₂O + CO₂, what do the missing coefficients mean, Ren?

    • Each is 1: 1 mol of each substance
    • Each stands for 1 g of each substance
    • Each is 0: those substances do not react
  9. Is 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O balanced, Tala?

    • Yes: 4 H and 2 O on each side
    • No: the 2s on each side do not match
    • No: water should be written H₂O₂
  10. Is NaHCO₃ + CH₃COOH → CH₃COONa + H₂O + CO₂ balanced, Esme?

    • No: the vinegar's atoms are lost as bubbles
    • No: it needs a 2 in front of CO₂
    • Yes: 1 Na, 5 H, 3 C and 5 O on each side

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.
