Answer:

NH3 is the limiting reactant

The theoretical yield is 216.0 kg urea

The % for this reaction is 78.8 %

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Mass of ammonia = 122.5 kg

Mass of carbon dioxide = 211.4 kg

Mass of urea produced = 170.3 kg

Molar mass of ammnoia = 17.031 g/mol

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44.01 g/mol

Moalr mass of urea = 60.06 g/mol

<u>Step 2:</u> The balanced equation

2NH3(aq) + CO2(aq) --> CH4N2O(aq) + H2O(l)

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate moles of NH3

Number of moles = mass / Molar mass

Moles NH3 = 122500 grams / 17.031 g/mol

Moles NH3 = 7192.77 moles

<u>Step 4:</u> Calculate moles of CO2

Moles CO2 = 211400 / 44.01 g/mol

Moles CO2 = 4803.45 moles

<u>Step 5</u>: Calculate limiting reactant

For 2 moles NH3 consumed, we need 1 moles of CO2 to produce 1 mole urea and 1 mole H2O

NH3 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (7192.77 moles).

CO2 is in excess. There will be consumed 7192.77/2 = 3596.4 moles

There will remain 4803.45 - 3596.4 = 1207.05 moles of CO2

<u>Step 6:</u> Calculate moles of urea produced:

For 2 moles NH3 consumed, we need 1 moles of CO2 to produce 1 mole urea and 1 mole H2O

For 7192.77 moles of NH3, we have 3596.4 moles of urea produced

<u>Step 7: </u>Calculate mass of urea

Mass urea = moles urea * molar mass urea

Mass urea = 3596.4 moles * 60.06 g/mol

Mass urea = 216000 grams = 216 kg = theoretical yield

<u>Step 8</u>: Calculate % yield

% yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield)*100%

% yield = (170.3 / 216) *100% = 78.8%

The % for this reaction is 78.8 %

What is the difference between the atomic number and the mass number of an element?
DedPeter [7]

Mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom, and it tells us about the mass of the atom in amu, or atomic mass units. Atomic mass is the average mass of all the isotopes of a certain type. It is a weighted average that takes into account the abundances of all of the different isotopes

hope this helps :)

Answer:

Water, H2O, is a pure substance, a compound made of hydrogen and oxygen. Although water is the most abundant substance on earth, it is rarely found naturally in its pure form. Most of the time, pure water has to be created. Pure water is called distilled water or deionized water.

What class of enzyme catalyzes addition of oxygen?
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The answer is Lyase

Explanation:

Any enzyme that catalyzes the addition or removal of the elements water (hydrogen, oxygen), ammonia (nitrogen, hydrogen), or carbon dioxide (carbon, oxygen) at double bonds, as defined in physiology. Decarboxylases, for example, remove carbon dioxide from amino acids, while dehydrases eliminate water.
