Question
The emission of NO, by fossil fuel combustion can be prevented
by injecting gaseous urea into the combustion mixture. The
urea reduces NO (which oxidizes in air to form NO2) according
to the reaction:
2 CO(NH;)»(3) + 4 NO(3) + O2(8)
4 Na(8) + 2 CO;(g) + 4 H¿O(g)
Suppose that the exhaust stream of an automobile has a flow
rate of 2.55 L/s at 655 Kand contains a partial pressure of NO of
12.4 torr. What total mass of urea is necessary to react complete-
ly with the NO formed during 8.0 hours of driving?
