Question

Urea (H2NCONH2) is used extensively as a nitrogen source in fertilizers. It is produced commercially from the reaction of ammonia and carbon dioxide. 2NH3(g) + CO2(g) > H2NCONH2(s) + H2O(g) Ammonia gas at 223 degrees C and 90. atm flows into a reactor at a rate of 500. L/min. Carbon Dioxide at 223degrees C and 45 atm flows into the reactor at a rate of 600. L/min. What is the mass of urea is produced per minute by this reaction assuming 100% yield.

Step 1

We can use the ideal gas law for this: PV = nRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is temperature in Kelvin. For NH3: P = 90 atm, V = 500 L/min, R = 0.0821 L.atm/(mol.K), T = 223 + 273 = 496 K n = PV/RT = Show more…
