In the interaction of 100 liters of ammonia containing nitrogen impurities, the volume fraction of which
In the interaction of 100 liters of ammonia containing nitrogen impurities, the volume fraction of which is 10% with sulfuric acid, ammonium sulfate weighing 252 g was obtained, calculate the salt yield as a percentage of the theoretically possible
Given: V (NH3) = 100 l φ approx. = 10% m practical. ((NH4) 2SO4) = 252 g Find: ω out. ((NH4) 2SO4) -?
Solution: 1) Write the reaction equation: 2NH3 + H2SO4 => (NH4) 2SO4; 2) Find the volume fraction of pure NH3: φ (NH3) = 100% – φ approx. = 100% – 10% = 90%; 3) Find the volume of pure NH3: V (NH3) = φ (NH3) * V (NH3) / 100% = 90% * 100/100% = 90 l; 4) Find the amount of substance NH3: n (NH3) = V (NH3) / Vm = 90 / 22.4 = 4 mol; 5) Find the amount of substance (NH4) 2SO4: n ((NH4) 2SO4) = n (NH3) / 2 = 2 mol; 6) Find the theoretical mass (NH4) 2SO4: m theor. ((NH4) 2SO4) = n ((NH4) 2SO4) * Mr ((NH4) 2SO4) = 2 * 132 = 264 g; 7) Find the output (NH4) 2SO4: ω out. ((NH4) 2SO4) = m practical. ((NH4) 2SO4) * 100% / m theor. ((NH4) 2SO4) = 252 * 100% / 264 = 95%.
Answer: The yield of (NH4) 2SO4 was 95%.
