Question

An industrial process of producing ammonia gas runs with a 74.0% yield. How many kilograms of ammonia gas will be produced in this process if theoretically 50.1 Kg can be made

Answer 1

37.1 kilograms of ammonia gas will be produced in this process

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage yield of the reaction is given by:

`(Yield)\%=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}* 100`

According to question

The percentage yield of the given industrial process = 74.0%

The given theoretical yield of ammonia gas = 50.1 kg

The experimental yield of ammonia gas = x

The percentage yield of the reaction is calculated a:

`74.0\%=(x)/(50.1 kg)* 100`

Solving for x, we get:

`x = 37.074 kg\approx 37.1 kg`

37.1 kilograms of ammonia gas will be produced in this process
