The product is the first P in the marketing mix. Dr. Eduardo A. Morato defines a product as the
tangible or intangible service that a business provides to its customers to meet their needs and
achieve expected results. There are four general types of products, namely;
Total Cost
*Note: it is important for an entrepreneur to search for the best supplier for his raw materials as
they grant a discount.
Group Activity 2. Manufacturing process (20 Points). Now that you know the material
needed for the production, you are ready to develop the standard procedure for your product. A
standard procedure has to be specific for each detail in manufacturing such as materials,
equipment/tools to be used, measurement, time, and other important details relevant to the
production of your product. As a procedure, you have to write it in a step-by-step process
leading to your final product. Use the space provided below to write a scratch outline for your
standard procedure.
(Write the manufacturing process on the back of this paper)
The place is the second marketing mix in this module. The place is defined by Felix Lao as the
"means of distribution activities done by companies to make the right product available in the
right target market at the right quantity, right place, right condition, and the right time". In short,
your location is relevant to the undertaking as it makes the product conveniently available to the
target market (Go J., 2017). Hitherto, upon the start of the pandemic, the physical location was
not as significant as online selling, which is the new hype. In our subject, we will also adapt to
the new normal as we use a virtual location. With this, we can put up a business while
minimizing the risk of infection. Nevertheless, the right location for your plant is significant for
logistics. The closer it is to the market, the better.
Dr. Eduardo A. Morato, in his book Entrepreneurship, identified the following as the relevant
location drivers:
Individual activity 2. Place (10 points). Using the relevant location drivers, identify and
discuss three relevant drivers that you think is beneficial for your group’s business.
Once relevant location drivers are identified, your group may start to select a place where your
business may locate. Once a place is selected you have to prepare a business vicinity map.
This map will help you to indicate the region near or about a place and the proximity to
prominent and established landmarks. A sample of business vicinity map is shown in figure 3.2.
Group Activity 3. Business vicinity map. (10 Points). Draw a business vicinity map for your
chosen factory plant. The vicinity map must display places easy to identify the plant's location.
Figure 3.1 shows an example of a business vicinity map.
Draw your map in the box provided below.
Amazing! Your business looks so promising. Now that you have your standard procedure and
location, let us put a price tag to your product. Price is a major for customers’ demand.
However, with the use of your gathered data from your target customer, pricing will be a lot
easier.
Remember, before you set the price for your product you have to first determine your pricing
objective (Medina R., 1990). Your chosen pricing objective could be profit-oriented (maximize
profit, achieve the target return on investment) sales-oriented (increase sales-volume,
maintain/increase market share), or status quo-oriented (stabilize the price, meet competition, or
avoid competition). Aside from your pricing objective, you also have to consider other pricing
factors such as the company’s/business objectives, the market demand, and the market
competition (Go J., 2017). To determine the price, use the formula below:
To help you set your price, make use of the guide provided below:
Determine the cost for each item with the use of raw materials table and your standard
procedure.
Determine your desired mark-up for each item (Note: you have to consider also the
operating and administrative expenses when determining your mark-up rate)
Add the cost and mark-up.
Answer the following items.
1. How much is your product? Present your solution in the box provided below.

Group projects, properly organized, may improve skills that are important to both group and individual
work, including the ability to: break down complicated tasks into parts and steps, plan time and handle
it, refine understanding through debate and explanation.
Professors say group projects give a unique chance to work with other people and be creative.
Students say that, due to randomly assigned partners, lack of coordination and difficult scheduling of
time, group projects are unfair.
1. Inequitable Contribution – Team members believe that others are not putting as much effort as
themselves.
2. Lack of Recognition – With so many individuals contributing, some may feel that their efforts are
not needed or will be recognized.
3. Loafing – Since students will be graded as a group, some members exert effort in achieving group
goals.
4. Non-cohesive Group – If the group is not cohesive, the members are more prone to social loafing
since they are not concerned about letting down their teammates.
It may often feel easier to work on your own. It can be effective, in your own time, you can work on the
project, and you can control all the processes.

In every work environment, school, and even at home, group work is inevitable. There are always tasks
and situations that require you to work with other people, aside from gaining new experiences and new
friends. If there are some good reasons to get involved in group work, if your teacher or classmate is
forced upon you, whether it is a study group you organize with your peers, group work can be helpful in

To sum up the lesson, whatever form the group work takes on your course, the opportunity to work with
others, rather than on your own, can provide distinct benefits. Groups who work well together will
achieve much more than people who work on their own. It is possible to apply a broader range of skills
to practical tasks and to share and discuss ideas can play a key role in improving your understanding of
a specific subject area. Being part of a team will help you improve your interpersonal skills, such as
speaking and listening, and teamwork skills, such as leadership, and collaborating with others and
inspiring them.
During your academic career, some of these skills would be useful and all are valued. It can help to
recognize your own strengths and weaknesses by communicating with others (for example, you may be
a better leader than a listener, or you may be good at coming up with 'big ideas' but not so good at
putting them into action). Enhanced self-awareness will both support your learning style and when you
come to write your CV or full work application forms, it will be invaluable. In order to maximize these
benefits, you will need to manage your group work effectively.

Competition is part of the human activity. Students have healthy, competitive spirit that drives
them into academic excellence. Employees are conscious that the right kind of rivalry will
contribute to professional growth. While, men’s affectionate behaviors are enhanced by the
nature of competition or rivalry. In short, rivalry in correct amount will help encourage men to
achieve such desired outcomes. On the other hand, competition can sometimes be abused if it
is not managed accordingly, hence, competition should be minimal and focused towards the
attainment of the common business objectives because when it comes out of hand, it becomes
undesirable and ends up hurting the entire organization.
In economics, the word ‘competition’ typically refers to something more specific. In fact,
businesses are competing with other firms offering similar products or services. In this module,
the center of the lesson will be the various market structures. Market structures provide a strong
basis for assessing the business environment. Recognizing how firms and markets operate
allows business people and leaders to evaluate current industry updates, new policies, and
regulation accurately, and how important decisions are shaped by the economy. There are four
categories of a market structure: perfect competition, monopoly, monopolistic, and oligopoly.
Pure/Perfect
Type of Market Oligopoly Monopolistic Monopoly
Competition

Numerous Few Many One

differentiation)
As seen in the table, a pure monopoly indicates that an industry has only one firm. Pure competition, on
the other hand, implies that the industry is contested by a large number of enterprises. Between them
lies the most common market forms in the actual world: oligopoly and monopolistic competition.
To elaborate the discussion, there is a big number of customers and sellers in a perfect competition
market system. All of the market's sellers are small businesses competing for customers. There is no
single major seller with a considerable market share. As a result, all of the businesses in such a market
are price sensitive. The products on the market are homogeneous, that is, they are exactly the same as
each other. Profit maximization is the sole goal of all businesses; free entry and exit from the market, i.e.
no barriers to entry and exit; furthermore, there is no such thing as consumer preference.
In monopolistic competition, there are still many producers and sellers. However, they do not all sell the
same things. Although the products are comparable, each merchant sells somewhat different items.
Consumers now have the option of selecting one product over another. Because they may have some
market strength, merchants may be able to charge a somewhat higher price. To some extent, sellers
become price setters as a result.
Novabella A. Rodriguez Applied Economics 2|Page
Author Module 3
Monopolistic competition can be seen in restaurants. In terms of taste and flavor, the items are all similar,
yet slightly different. Toothpaste is another example.
There are just a few enterprises in the market under an oligopoly. While the exact number of enterprises
is unknown, few major firms are thought to be the typical. As a result, in an oligopoly, the buyers
outnumber the sellers.
In this situation, the firms either compete or collaborate, and they utilize their market power to determine
prices and, as a result, maximize their profits. As a result, customers become price sensitive. There are
different barriers to entry in the market in an oligopoly, and new businesses find it difficult to establish
themselves.
In a monopoly market system, a single company will control the whole market. Because it has complete
market power, it can set any price it wants. Consumers have no choice but to pay the price set by the
seller, because there is only one seller and there are no close substitutes.
Monopolies are unfavorable to business. Consumers lose all of their power in this situation, and market
forces become useless. In fact, though, a pure monopoly is exceptionally rare.
Finally, monopsony is the polar opposite of monopoly, in which there is only one buyer and numerous
producers. The monopsonist may not be a price setter because it has to raise its price to encourage
producers to provide the goods and services it requires. To supply the monopsonist, providers must be
encouraged to do so, and this can only be done at a greater cost to the monopsony.
Congratulations, you have just finished your module 3! Your efforts will undoubtedly be
rewarded and recognized, even with the smallest ones, as long as you keep on striving as
you put your interest in it.
Market structure must be considered by the people who are planning to enter the business
industry. It is significant because it influences market outcomes through its effect on the incentives,
opportunities, and decision of market participants. It aims to clarify and forecast business results through
the level of market rivalry.
For additional information, read any textbooks related to Market Structures, Perfect Competition,
Oligopoly, Monopoly, Monopolistic, and Monopsony.

LESSON PROPER
Living Things Exhibit Reproduction, Growth and Development
Living things produce other living things like themselves in order for their species to
continue existing. This is what reproduction is about. Although this process is not necessary
for an individual organism’s survival (that is, a living thing does not endanger its existence if it
fails to produce offspring), it is essential for the perpetuation of its species (i.e. if members of the
species are not reproducing at a fast enough rate, the species might face extinction). For this
reason, all living things spend a lot of energy on reproduction. However, organisms need to be
mature enough in order to reproduce efficiently. Therefore, they have to grow (to increase in
size and volume) and develop (to undergo the necessary changes that accom pany this growth).
Living things may reproduce either sexually or asexually. During sexual reproduction, the
sperm cell of the male parent fertilizes the egg cell of the female parent. This union of gametes
(reproductive cells) gives rise to a zygote (immature offspring) whose DNA is a combination of
its parents’ DNAs. Such mixing of genetic materials increases genetic diversity, which in turn
increases the offspring’s chances of surviving an ever-changing environment. Asexual
reproduction, on the other hand, does not involve the union of gametes. As a result, the
offspring inherits its DNA from a single parent and is technically a clone of its parent.
At this point, revisit your answers on Table 1. Using the space provided below, copy all
those answers that fall under this characteristic of living things.
For this lesson, we are going to look into reproduction at the cellular level. However, our
focus will be on mitosis and meiosis which are the two types of eukaryotic cell division.
Although a cell spends a lot of energy on cell division, this process takes up only a very
small portion of the cell’s life cycle. In fact, actively dividing cells that are cult ured in the
laboratory only spend about 2% of their 24-hour life cycle on cell division. This shows that cells
devote a greater portion of their time on preparing to divide. The sequence of events in a cell’s
25
life, from the time it undergoes growth and dev elopment in preparation for division to the time
Page
when it actually gives rise to daughter cells, is called the cell cycle.

The cell cycle, which you may think of as the life cycle of a cell, has two major stages:
interphase and the cell division phase. Interphase, which takes up most of the cell’s time, is
sometimes called the resting stage of the cell cycle. The term resting however, does not refer to a
period of inactivity. As you will learn later, the cell is very metabolically active during interphase
because this is the stage when it prepares everything that it needs for dividing. Interphase has
three substages called G1 phase, S phase and G2 phase. Table 13 summarizes the important
events that take place within the cell during each of these substages. It is important to note that
cellular growth and organelle synthesis happen in all stages of interphase.
GQ#12: Why is interphase called the resting stage of the cell cycle?
The lengthy interphase is followed by the relatively brief cell division phase or M phase
(M for either mitosis or meiosis) in which two major events take place: karyokinesis or the
division of the nucleus (together with the DNA it contains) and cytokinesis or the division of
the cytoplasm. The M checkpoint also takes place during this time. The cell division phase has
four stages namely: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase of which more will be
said in the latter sections of this module.
After cell division, most cells go through the G 1 phase to get ready for the next division.
Some cells, on the other hand, enter the G0 phase which is described as an arrested stage when
cells differentiate (acquire specialized functions) and are not preparing to divide. There are cells
(like neurons, blood cells and muscle cells) that remain in the G 0 phase all their lives and there
26
are cells (like the ones that failed to meet the requirements of checkpoints) that only stay in this
Page
stage temporarily.

The previous section mentioned three cell cycle checkpoints that are named after the
stage in which they take place: the G1 checkpoint, the G2 checkpoint and the M (metaphase)
checkpoint. A cell cycle checkpoint is a part of the cell cycle wherein a cell is prevented from
advancing to the next stage of the cycle if it does not meet certain requirements. A cell that fails
at a checkpoint will have to remedy its condition first before being allowed to proceed to the next
phase. Such a cell usually enters the G0 phase temporarily and waits for a go signal to proceed.
Table 14 presents the basic requirements for a cell to pass each checkpoint.
GQ#14: What happens to a cell that fails to meet the requirements of a checkpoint and is not able to
make the necessary improvements or repairs?
On the space provided below, make a simple figure (like a diagram or a flow chart) that
will show the stages of the cell cycle (including the checkpoints).

Cell Division
The cell division of prokaryotic cells is called binary fission. This is the process wherein
a parent cell, after replicating its DNA, simply splits into two daughter cells, which are virtually
clones of itself and of each other. Since there is no nucleus to speak of, no karyokinesis precedes
cytokinesis. On the other hand, eukaryotic cells divide by either mitosis or meiosis depending
on whether the cell is somatic (cells of the body that are neither sperm nor egg cells) or
reproductive. Since you already had lessons about mitosis and meiosis in Junior High School,
make a diagram of a hypothetical animal cell with six chromosomes during metaphase of
mitosis. In your diagram, label the following structures: cell membrane, cytoplasm, spindle
fibers, asters, centrosome, centrioles, spindle apparatus, chromosome, arm (of the
chromosome), centromere (of the chromosome), kinetochore (of the chromosome) and
chromatid.
Mitosis
Mitosis is the type of cell division undergone by somatic cells, which include all body cells
except the egg cells and the sperm cells. One important characteristic of somatic cells is that they
are diploid. A diploid cell carries a number of chromosomes that is equal to the chromosome
28
number of its species. For example, if the chromosome number of humans is 46, then the
nucleus of all diploid cells in the human body carries 46 chromosomes each. The symbol 2N
Page

Name of the Student: ________________________ Section: __________________
(sometimes written as 2n) is used to indicate that a cell is diploid. In mitosis, a diploid parent
cell divides once and gives rise to two identical diploid daughter cells.
Mitosis is the means by which multicellular organisms produce new cells for growth,
maintenance and repair. When you get wounded on the knee, for example, some cells in that
wounded area die. Your body is able to replace these cells as quickly as possible because the
nearby uninjured cells divide to produce replacements. This eventually leads to the healing of
the wound.
As mentioned earlier, mitosis has four basic stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and
telophase. Study Figure 10 that illustrates the different stages of mitosis. Take note of how the
cell basically looks like and what structures are present in it during each stage. Then using your
diagram earlier (Figure 9) and your knowledge about cell division so far, answer the items that
are given after the figure.

does each of the following events occur? Write your answer on the blank before the item.
_____ Asters are formed.
_____ Centrosomes move apart and begin to organize spindle fibers.
_____ Chromosomes begin to move toward the equator of the cell.
_____ Cytokinesis is almost complete.
_____ The centromeres split.
_____ The cleavage furrow appears.
_____ The nuclear membrane and the nucleolus reform.
_____ The nuclear membrane has disintegrated completely.
_____ The spindle aligns the chromosomes along the equator of the cell.
_____ The spindle fibers pull the sister chromatids toward the opposite poles of the cell.
Meiosis
Egg cells and sperm cells are produced through meiosis. During meiosis, a diploid parent
cell undergoes two divisions (called Meiosis I and Meiosis II, shown in figure 11) and gives rise to
four daughter cells that are haploid (symbolized as N or n). Being haploid means that each of
these daughter cells carries only half the number of chromosomes originally possessed by the
parent cell. For example, a human gamete only has 23 chromosomes although the germ cell
from which it originated has 46. This decrease in the chromosome number of the daughter cells
is very important for sexually reproducing organisms.
As you learned from grade 10 science, during sexual reproduction the haploid sperm cell
fuses with the haploid egg cell to produce the diploid zygote. In humans (whose chromosome
number is 46), this means that the 23 chromosomes of the sperm cell combine with the 23
chromosomes of the egg cell to complete the 46 chromosomes of the zygote which will eventually
develop into a full blown human being. If the gametes were not haploid, then the zygote would
be polyploid. A polyploid cell has three or more times the haploid chromosome number of its
species (Encyclopaedia Britannica, 2020), such that if the chromosome number is 46, then a
polyploid may have at least 69 chromosomes (triploid, symbolized as 3N or 3n). This
chromosomal condition (called polyploidy) is quite common among plants, but is rare among
animals. In humans, even a single extra chromosome could have harmful effects. For example,
people with Down’s syndrome (formerly called mongolism) owe their condition to an extra
30
chromosome that makes their chromosome number 47 instead of 46. If one additional
chromosome can do that to a human being, then just imagine (if you can) what 23 more

The two meiotic divisions have 4 stages each, but the distinct characteristics of the
process are mostly found in meiosis I (since meiosis II is very much like mitosis). One unique
feature of meiosis I is the occurrence of synapsis during prophase I. Synapsis is the pairing up
of homologous chromosomes. A diploid human cell has 23 pairs of chromosomes (22 pairs
of somatic chromosomes 0r autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes) and in females,
all 23 pairs are homologous. Homologous chromosomes are similar in structure (like in length
and in the position of the centromere), as well as in the kind of genes that they carry. This means
that if one member of the pair carries genes for eye color, hair structure and blood type, its twin
or homolog also carries the same types of genes. Males, on the other hand, only have 22
homologous pairs because their sex chromosomes (made up of a large X chromosome and a
smaller Y chromosome) are not really similar. When homologous chromosomes are in synapsis,
they exchange equivalent genes through a process called crossing over. The rearrangement of
genes brought about by crossing over ensures that each daughter cell produced after meiosis is
genetically unique, hence promoting genetic diversity.
Another thing is that during anaphase I or anaphase II, chromosomes sometimes fail to
separate because of faulty spindle fibers. This error, which is called nondisjunction, results in
gametes having extra or missing chromosomes. When a gamete of this kind fuses with a normal
gamete, the zygote produced may either have too many or too few chromosomes. In fact, Down’s
syndrome is caused by the nondisjunction of chromosome 21 (the 21 st pair of chromosomes) in
humans. Other conditions brought about by this error will be taken up later in the module. It is
also important to note that during the brief interphase between meiosis I and meiosis II, no
DNA replication takes place within the two haploid daughter cells.
Since Figure 11 presents a simplified illustration of the stages of meiosis, there are a few
points that you must keep in mind while studying it: (1) the nuclear envelope starts to
disintegrate during prophase and (2) the spindle fibers are already present at this stage. Once
you have studied the figure, answer the items that are given after it.

Despite strict control points, cell division does not always happen perfectly. Due to factors
in the cell’s internal and external environments, errors also occur during this process. Since a
cell divides as a response to chemical signals that it receives, a change or a mistake in these
signals may lead to the malfunctioning of the cell during division. This situation may in turn
cause disorders or diseases in organisms.
Let’s take for example the rate with which a cell divides. The frequency of division
depends on the type of cell. There are some cells that divide every 24 hours (like the ones
mentioned earlier in this lesson), some every 10 hours and there are even some that do not
divide at all. However, it sometimes happens that a cell divides faster or slower than the normal
rate for its kind because of exposure to chemicals that either stimulate or impede cell division.
What problems may arise when cells divide too slowly or too fast? Answer this by completing the
statements below.
When cells divide too slowly: When cells divide too fast:
An error during cell division, called nondisjunction, was mentioned in the previous
33
section. Nondisjunction that happens during the formation of gametes can lead to the

production of a zygote that has additional or missing chromosomes. In humans, such a zygote

may either die during the early stages of its development or mature into an organism that has
serious impairments. Nondisjunction can happen in autosomes (like in the case of Down’s
syndrome) as well as in sex chromosomes. Failure of sex chromosomes to separate gives rise to
gametes that either have both copies of the chromosome or that do not have any sex
chromosome at all. When a gamete of this type unites with a normal gamete, the resulting
zygote may have 3 sex chromosomes (symbolized as XXX, XXY or XYY) or only one sex
chromosome (symbolized as XO or YO). An example of a condition brought about by this kind of
nondisjunction is Turner’s syndrome, wherein a female has 44 autosomes and only 1 X
chromosome (for a total of 45 chromosomes).
In the table given below, give other examples of conditions that originate from the
nondisjunction of chromosomes during meiosis. Two items are given as examples.

contains the product. For example, when hydrogen gas combines with oxygen gas, it produces
liquid water. The process is represented in the equation below:
We can read this equation as two moles of hydrogen gas react with one mole of oxygen gas
to produce two moles of liquid dihydrogen monoxide (water). As you can see, there are numbers
before the chemical formula of the substances. We call these numbers as stoichiometric
coefficients and are used to balance the chemical equations. We can also see the phase the
substances are in: (s) for solid, (l) for liquid, (g) for gas, and (aq) for aqueous.
We can be certain that a chemical reaction has occurred if we observe any of the following
phenomena:
In this module, we will discuss different kinds of chemical reactions namely the
combination, decomposition, single replacement, double replacement, neutralization, and
combustion reactions.
Combination Reactions: A + B C
In this kind of reaction, two or more substances react to form a product. This may occur
between a metal and nonmetal to form an ionic compound. A covalent compound is produced if
it occurs between two nonmetals. The previous example (chemical reaction of water) is an example
of this. Examples are further illustrated below:

Here, a single substance breaks apart to form two or more substances. This is actually the
reverse of the synthesis reaction and usually occurs in the presence of heat, represented by the
Greek letter Δ (delta), or electricity. Examples are the following:
Now we see an element simply replacing another in a compound. We use the activity series
of elements in this.

This occurs when we have two ionic compounds exchanging cations and anions with each
other.
Neutralization Reactions
This is actually a form of double replacement reaction, but the products are salt and water.

Combustion Reactions
These reactions are fast and produce flame. This usually involves O 2 from air as a reactant.
After discussing the various kinds of chemical reactions and establishing your prior
knowledge on the chemical formulas of several compounds, we can write an unbalanced chemical
equation. We then balance the equation by determining the coefficients that give equal numbers
of each type of atom on the reactant and product side of the equation. A balanced chemical
equation must only contain the smallest possible whole number coefficients. Listed below are the
general steps that we follow in balancing a chemical equation derived from Chang and Goldsby
(2014):
1. Identify all reactants and products. Be sure to write their correct formulas on the left side
(reactant) and right side(product) of the equation, respectively.
2. Start balancing the equation by testing different coefficients to make the number of atoms of
each element on both sides equal. Take note that we can only change the coefficients but not the
subscript.
3. Look first for an element that appears only once on each side of the equation with equal number
of atoms on each side. We do not have to adjust the coefficients of these elements at this point.
Next, we look for elements that appear only once on each side of the equation but with unequal
number of atoms. We balance these elements before we proceed. We finally balance the elements
that appear in two or more formulas on the same side of the equation.
4. Check the balanced chemical equation if the reactant and product side both have the equal
number of atoms for each element.

EXAMPLE: In a laboratory, a chemist mixes CO2 with NH3 to produce urea [(NH2)2CO] as shown
in the following chemical equation.
CO2(g) + NH3(g) (NH2)2CO(aq) + H2O(l)
In the said process, 450.0g NH3 are treated with 950.0g CO2. (a) Identify the limiting
reagent. (b) Determine the mass (in grams) of the product. (c) Determine the mass (in grams) of
the excess reactant.
SOLUTION: Remember that before we proceed, we need to check if the chemical equation is
23
balanced or not. Since the provided equation is not yet balanced, we will balance it first.

Name of the Student ________________________ Section: __________________
Afterwards, we proceed in answering the questions. Our strategy for (a) is converting the mass
of CO2 into the number of moles of urea, and mass of NH 3 into number of moles of urea. Then,
we will compare the two number of moles of urea. The reagent that produces the smaller amount
of urea is the limiting reagent. (We will use the flowchart in figure 5 in solving this. Note that
the stoichiometric ratio came from the balanced chemical equation.)
for CO2: mass of CO2 ÷ MM of CO2 x stoichiometric ratio of urea to CO2
950.0g CO2 x (1 mol CO2 / 44.01g CO2) = 21.59 mol CO2
21.59 mol CO2 x (1 mol (NH2)2CO / 1 mol CO2) = 21.59 mol (NH2)2CO
for NH3: mass of NH3 ÷ MM of NH3 x stoichiometric ratio of NH3 to urea
450.0g NH3 x (1 mol NH3 / 17.03 g NH3) = 26.42 mol NH3
26.42 mol NH3 x (1 mol (NH2)2CO / 2 mol NH3) = 13.21 mol (NH2)2CO
Do not be confused with the MM, remember that the unit of this is gram/mole. If you can observe,
the operation became multiplication since the unit became mol/g from g/mol. If you are still
confused, feel free to ask your teacher regarding this issue.
Based on what we have computed, NH3 produced the smaller amount of urea.
Thus, the limiting reagent is NH3.
For (b), we will multiply the number of moles of urea that we got using NH 3 by the urea's MM.
mass of urea = 13.21 mol (NH2)2CO x (60.07 g (NH2)2CO / 1 mol (NH2)2CO)
mass of urea = 793.52 g (NH2)2CO
For (c), we will do this backwards. By still using the number of moles of urea that we got using
NH3, we will compute for the mass of the unused reagent.
moles of (NH2)2CO x stoichiometric ratio of CO2 to urea x MM of CO2
= 13.21 mol (NH2)2CO x (1 mol CO2 / 1 mol (NH2)2CO) x (44.01 g CO2 / 1 mol CO2)
= 581.37g CO2
We will then subtract this value from the initial amount of CO 2.
mass of unused CO2 = 950.0g CO2 - 581.37g CO2
mass of unused CO2 = 368.63 g CO2
Percent yield is obtained by dividing the actual yield by the theoretical yield multiplied by

a hundred.
