Three sample problems from a stoichiometry chapter
Say your chapter covers mass conversions, limiting reagent and percent yield. A quiz built from it could include problems like these. They were written for this page to show the format.
Problem 1, mass to mass
- Question
- How many grams of water form when 4.00 g of H₂ burns completely in excess O₂? The equation is 2 H₂ + O₂ → 2 H₂O.
- Choices
- A) 18.0 g, B) 35.7 g, C) 71.4 g, D) 4.00 g
- Answer
- B
- Explanation
- 4.00 g ÷ 2.02 g/mol = 1.98 mol H₂. The ratio of H₂ to H₂O is 2 to 2, so 1.98 mol H₂O forms, and 1.98 mol × 18.02 g/mol = 35.7 g.
Problem 2, limiting reagent
- Question
- A flask holds 2.0 mol N₂ and 5.0 mol H₂ for the reaction N₂ + 3 H₂ → 2 NH₃. Which reactant limits the reaction, and how many moles of NH₃ can form?
- Choices
- A) N₂, 4.0 mol; B) H₂, 3.3 mol; C) H₂, 5.0 mol; D) N₂, 3.3 mol
- Answer
- B
- Explanation
- 2.0 mol N₂ would need 6.0 mol H₂, and only 5.0 mol is there, so H₂ runs out first. 5.0 mol H₂ × 2 mol NH₃ / 3 mol H₂ = 3.3 mol NH₃. Choice A is the trap, because it starts from N₂.
Problem 3, percent yield
- Question
- A reaction should give 25.0 g of product in theory. You collect 21.3 g. What is the percent yield?
- Model answer
- 85.2 %. Percent yield is the actual yield divided by the theoretical yield, times 100.
- Explanation
- 21.3 g ÷ 25.0 g = 0.852, so 85.2 %. A result above 100 % points to a wet product or an arithmetic slip. Short answers are self-graded, so you compare yours with the model answer.
Your own problems use the reactions and worked examples from your chapter, in your professor's notation, and each one shows the page it came from. When a page holds a table or a figure, it can appear right inside the question.
What the problems cover, and what they do not
The problems cover what a question, a choice or a short answer can carry: balancing equations, converting between grams and moles, mole ratios, mass to mass problems, limiting reagent, theoretical and percent yield and, if your chapter has them, molarity and gas volumes.
There are limits. It is not a calculator, and nothing grades a number you type in or the working behind it. A question like find the mass of product becomes multiple choice or a short answer, and you do the arithmetic on paper. The numbers are worked out by an AI, so check them against the explanation and your own working before you trust them. A generated quiz is also smaller than a large static problem bank, and it only covers topics your material covers.
Before the exam: a blank worksheet, a timed exam and a mastery score
A quiz gives feedback after every question. To work on paper, download it as a blank worksheet with the answer key on its own page. For exam conditions, make a practice exam from the same chapters: sections, an optional timer and no feedback until you submit, then a graded report with the result per section.
Every answer feeds a mastery score per concept, so the second round can aim at whatever you keep missing, for example limiting reagent against percent yield. From the same chapter you can also make flashcards for definitions and a cheat sheet for the formulas.
Generated problems or a free worksheet?
Free worksheets, videos and online problem banks are good for volume, and many show every step. Some check a typed number for you, which StudyPDF does not. But they are written once for everyone, so the order, the units and the reactions may differ from your class, and you decide what to practice yourself.
Problems built from your chapter follow your syllabus and show the page they came from, so a wrong answer sends you straight to the explanation. The two work well together: a large bank for volume on one skill, and a quiz from your own chapter for what your exams test.
What to look for in stoichiometry practice problems
Problems should follow your course, not a generic worksheet. Books differ in how they set up conversions, in their notation and in which reactions come first. StudyPDF splits your chapters into concepts and writes each problem from the passage it came from, so the problems follow your syllabus.
Working matters more than answers. In stoichiometry the steps are the point, from balancing to converting to moles to using the ratio. Every problem shows the steps and where to read more in your material. Got one wrong? Ask Bo, the tutor in your course, why. He knows which question you mean.
Mix the question types. Multiple choice checks the setup, such as which ratio to use, multi-select asks for every correct statement, matching pairs each term with its meaning, and short answer makes you work out the number and compare it with a model answer.
Track concepts, not just scores. Every answer feeds a mastery score per concept, and the results screen lists the weakest first. Ask Bo what to practice next and the quiz form opens with those concepts already picked.

Questions and answers
How do you solve stoichiometry problems?
In four steps. Balance the equation, convert what you are given to moles, use the mole ratio from the coefficients, then convert to the unit you want. Limiting reagent and percent yield add one step each. StudyPDF builds practice problems for those steps from your own chapter, with the working shown in the explanation.
Can AI make stoichiometry practice problems?
Yes, for problems that fit a choice or a short answer: mole ratios, mass to mass conversions, limiting reagent, percent yield and, if your chapter has them, molarity and gas volumes. StudyPDF builds them from your chapter, so they follow your course. It is not a calculator, and it does not check a number you type in.
Are there stoichiometry practice problems with answers?
Yes. Every problem comes with the answer, an explanation that shows the working and the page it was written from. Download the quiz with the solutions, or as a blank worksheet with the answer key on its own page.
5 more questions
Does it grade my numeric answer?
No. Multiple choice, multi-select, true or false and matching are checked as you go. A short answer, a number included, is self-graded: you write it, then compare it with the model answer and the explanation. Do the arithmetic on paper and check it against the working.
How do I practice limiting reagent and percent yield?
Set up each problem yourself first. Write the balanced equation, convert both amounts to moles, find the reactant that runs out, then work the yield from that one. Pick those topics in the New material form, or type them in the free-text field. The results screen then shows whether limiting reagent or percent yield is your weaker concept.
Are the stoichiometry practice problems free?
Free to start. You need a free account, no card. Free gives you about 4 materials a week and Pro about 35.
Can I print the problems as a worksheet?
Yes. Download the quiz as a PDF, either with the solutions or as a blank worksheet with the answer key on its own page. On Pro and up you can also download it as Word and edit it.
Does it work for AP Chemistry, high school chemistry or the MCAT?
It makes problems from whatever you upload, such as your own chapter, slides or notes, so it fits any of them. It does not contain official AP or MCAT questions.
