Assignment:
Ammonium sulfate, (NH4)2SO4, is considered to be the most important solid fertilizer in the world. It can be produced by the reaction of aqueous ammonia NH3(aq) with sulfuric acid. The equation is:
2 NH3(aq) + H2SO4(aq) → (NH4)2SO4
a) Determine the theoretical yield of (NH4)2SO4 for a mixture of 40.0 ml of 15 M NH3(aq) and 20.0 mL of 18 M (concentrated) H2SO4(aq)
b) A theoretical yield of 1200. kg was calculated for an industrial batch process, but 1170. kg was actually recovered. What is the percent yield?
Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
