Question

An important process for the production of acrylonitrile (C3H3N) is given by the following
equation: 


2C3H6 (g) + 2NH3 (g) + 3O2 (g) → 2C3H3N (g) + 6H2O (g)


A 150.0 L reactor is charged to the following partial pressures at 25 °C:


PC3H6 = 3.54 atm
PNH3 = 5.72 atm
PO2 = 10.64 atm


What mass of acrylonitrile can be produced from this mixture? R = 0.08206 L*Atm/mol/K
Hint: You need to think about a limiting reactant.
