USING DEMINSIONAL ANALYSIS

CO2 (g) + 2NH3 (1) → CO(NH2 ), (s) + H2O(1)
This reaction models how urea fertilizer is produced from carbon dioxide and ammonia, with water as a byproduct. This is a chemical engineering process, and
a urea factory is shown in this image:
bosGran wreOR ean
At the factory, a new engineer combines of 1500 L of carbon dioxide and 1500 g of ammonia (NH3). His goal was to have no excess reagent left over.
To his surprise, he miscalculated! One of the reagents ran out first. Help him determine which one ran out first, and also calculate the amount of urea
produced.
1) Convert both initial reactant values into moles.
2) Which reagent is the limiting reagent?
3) What mass of urea, CO(NH2)2, is produced? Urea has a molar mass of 60.1 g/mol.
