How much C2H4N2 could be expected from the reaction of13.5 g CO2,2.23 g NH3, and1.63 g CH4?
The reaction:
CO2 + NH3 + CH4 = C2H4N2 + H2O
balance
3CH4 + 5CO2 + 8NH3 = 4C2H4N2 + 10H2O
now...
mol of CH4 = mass/MW = 1.63/16 = 0.1018
mol of CO2 = mass/MW = 13.5/44= 0.3068
mol of NH3 = masS/MW = 2.23/17= 0.1311
ratios are:
3CH4 + 5CO2 + 8NH3
clearly, NH3 is limiting
0.1311 mol requires -->
3/8*0.1311 = 0.0491 mol of CH4
5/8*0.1311 = 0.0819 mol of CO2
then
ratio is
8NH3 = 4C2H4N2
or 2:1
0.1311 mol o fNH3 --> 4/8*0.1311 = 0.06555 mol of C2H4N2
mass = mol*MW = 0.06555 *56.0666 = 3.6751 g C2H4N2
