Acrylonitrile (53 $\to$ 4 C₃H₃N + 6 H₂O + N₂(g)

question 58

Short Answer

Acrylonitrile (53.07 g/mol)can be produced from propylene (42.09 g/mol)according to the reaction shown below.If the percent yield of the reaction is only 45.7%,how many grams of C₃H₆ should be used if 1250 g C₃H₃N must actually be produced?
4 C₃H₆(g)+ 6 NO(g) $\to$ 4 C₃H₃N + 6 H₂O + N₂(g)
