Question

Urea, (NH2)2CO 60.06 g/mol, is used as a fertilizer, an active ingredient in skin care lotions, and an important raw material for the chemical industry.

 

Urea can be made in the lab by the following reaction:  COCl2 + 4 NH3 → (NH2)2CO + 2 NH4Cl

 

What is the largest amount of urea that could be produced when 75.5 g of COCl2 are allowed to react with 45.5 g NH?

 

Useful molar masses:  (NH2)2CO = 60.06 g/mol,       COCl2 = 98.92 g/mol,      NH3 = 17.04 g/mol

a)40.1 g
b)37.6 g
c)20.0 g
d)46.8 g
e)11.5 g
