6. Urea (CH4N2O) is a common fertilizer that can be synthesized by the reaction of NH3 with CO2. This reaction also produces water. In an industrial process, a chemist combines 136.4 kg of NH, with 211.4 kg of CO2, obtaining 168.4 kg of urea. Determine the theoretical yield of urea (in kg), the limiting reactant, and the percent yield for this reaction. Clearly show all your work.
