Question
Acrylonitrile C3H3N is the starting material for the production of a kind of synthetic fibre (acrylics). It can be made from propylene C3H6 by reaction with nitric oxide (NO).
C3H6(g) + NO(g) → C3H3N(g) + H2O(g) + N2(g) (Unbalanced)
How many grams of acrylonitrile may be obtained from 420 kg of propylene and excess NO?
Options
A.265 kg
B.530 kg
C.1060 kg
D.795 kg
Solution
$\underset{\begin{aligned} & 42g \\ & \therefore\text{420 g} \end{aligned}}{C_{3}H_{6}(g)} + \frac{3}{2}NO(g) \rightarrow \underset{\begin{aligned} & 53\text{ g} \\ & \text{530 g} \end{aligned}}{C_{3}H_{3}N(g)} + \frac{3}{2}H_{2}O(g) + \frac{1}{4}N_{2}(g)$
