Chapter F, Problem M.2BST

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Limiting reactant has to be identified if $\text{14}\text{.5}\text{kg}$ of ammonia is reacted with $\text{22}\text{.1}\text{kg}$ of ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$.

Concept Introduction:

In a chemical reaction, the limiting reactant is the one that is present in lesser quantity than the required stoichiometric ratio between the various reactants that is present in it.  This limiting reactant decides the maximum yield of the product that will be formed in a chemical reaction.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Mass of urea that is produced has to be calculated.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Mass of excess reactant that remains in the reaction has to be calculated.
