Urea [(NH2)2CO] is prepared by reacting ammonia with carbon dioxide          2NH3 (g) + CO2 (g) ------> (NH2)2 CO (aq) + H2O (l) In one process, 700 g of NH3 are treated with 1253 g of CO2. Which one is the limiting reactant? Calculate the mass of urea [(NH2)2CO] formed. How much excess reagent (in grams) is left at the end of the reaction?
