I am struggling with how to set up and complete this problem.
What is the theoretical yield of ammonia (in grams) if 16.55 grams of nitrogen gas and 10.15 grams of hydrogen gas are allowed to react?
I can find the answer online but I havent found an example of how to set up the problem using dimensional analysis.

- A power plant is driven by the combustion of a complex fossil fuel having the formula C11H7S. Assume the air supply is composed of only N2 and O2 with a molar ratio of 3.76:1.00, and the N2 remains unreacted. In addition to the water produced, the fuels C is completely combusted to CO2 and its sulfur content is converted to SO2. In order to evaluate gases emitted at the exhaust stacks for environmental regulation purposes, the nitrogen supplied with the air must also be included in the balanced reactions. a Including the N2 supplied m the air, write a balanced combustion equation for the complex fuel assuming 100% stoichiometric combustion (i.e., when there is no excess oxygen in the products and the only C-containing product is CO2). Except in the case of N2, use only integer coefficients. b Including N2 supplied in the air, write a balanced combustion equation for the complex fuel assuming 120% stoichiometric combustion (i.e., when excess oxygen is present in the products and the only C-containing product is CO2).

And suppose you analyze a gas sample and get the following composition: 75.66% N2, 10.24% CO2, 8.27% H2O, 5.75% O2, and 0.0825% SO2. You show these figures to the factory clerk the next day, and he insists that this analysis is erroneous and states that the fuel is natural gas, contains methane and ethane and does not contain sulfur. You ask if another fuel is used, and sometimes they say they use fuel as fuel, but at the time of analysis they say that this fuel is not used. However, your measurements show that the enterprise is using fuel at the time of measurement, and the responsible person accepts this later and accepts that they have made mistakes.a) Calculate the molar ratio of carbon / hydrogen in the fuel and use the result to prove that the fuel cannot be natural gas.b) Assuming that C, H and S are the elements present in the…arrow_forward[Tutorial: Limiting reactant stoichiometry] This question will walk you through the steps of calculating the mass of products produced based on your determination of the limiting reactant. b) Step 2a: Use dimensional analysis to determine the theoretical yield of the product.

The stoichiometric mixture is usually specified as the ratio of the mass of air to the mass of a particular fuel. For example, if a fuel (for example, natural gas, CH4) required 17.2 kg of air to precisely burn 1 kg of the fuel (that is, all the fuel burned and there was no oxygen left in the air afterwards) then the stoichiometric ratio for that fuel would be 17.2: 1. Calculate the partial pressures of the natural gas and oxygen in the mixture based on the stoichiometric ratio given above at 293.15 K. The volume of the internal combustion engine is considered to be 2.500 L. The mass of the fuel is 160.0 g. Mass fraction of oxygen in air is 23.1%.
