1. 0/0.63 points | Previous Answers WebAssignGenChem1 8.11.001 My NotesAsk Your Teacher Urea, which has the chemical formula (NH2)2CO, is a fertilizer that can be prepared by reacting ammonia (NH3) with carbon dioxide (CO2). Given the following chemical equation, what is the theoretical yield of urea (in grams) if 5.34 mol ammonia is the limiting reactant? 2 NH3(g) + CO2(g) (NH2)2CO(aq) + H2O(I) Recall that the theoretical yield is the amount of product obtained when all of the limiting reactant is used to form the desired product.

Explanation / Answer

So according to the equation.  

2 moles of ammonia gives 1 mole of urea.  

So 5.34 moles give 2.67 moles of urea.  

1 mole of urea is 60.06 g

So amount of urea produced is 160.36g.
