Carbon Dioxide reacts with ammonia NH3 and water producing ammonium bicarbonate (ammonium hydrogen carbonate.) How many kilograms of ammonium bicarbonate, ammonium hydrogen carbonate, are produced if 4575 L of ammonia is reacted at STP?

161.3 kg of NH₄HCO₃ are produced

Explanation:

Firstly we need to determine the reaction by the reactants and the formed products. The equation will be:

CO₂ + NH₃ + H₂O → NH₄HCO₃

Let's determine the moles of ammonia that has reacted, at STP

STP = 1 atm, 273K

We apply the Ideal Gases Law → P . V = n . R . T →  P . V/ R. T = n

1 atm . 4575L / 0.082 . 273 = n → 204.3 moles

As ratio is 1:1, 204.3 moles of ammonia will produce 204.3 moles of NH₄HCO₃ . Let's convert the moles to mass:

204.3 mol . 79g / 1 mol = 16139.7 g

We convert the mass from g to kg → 16139.7 g . 1kg / 1000g = 161.3kg
