Question

An industrial process of producing ammonia gas runs with a 74.0% yield. How many kilograms of ammonia gas will be produced in this process if theoretically 50.1 Kg can be made

Answer 1

Answer:

37.1 kilograms of ammonia gas will be produced in this process

Explanation:

The percentage yield of the reaction is given by:

$(Yield)\%=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

According to question

The percentage yield of the given industrial process = 74.0%

The given theoretical yield of ammonia gas = 50.1 kg

The experimental yield of ammonia gas = x

The percentage yield of the reaction is calculated a:

$74.0\%=\frac{x}{50.1 kg}\times 100$

Solving for x, we get:

$x = 37.074 kg\approx 37.1 kg$

37.1 kilograms of ammonia gas will be produced in this process
