Convert mass to moles, realize that ratio of ammonia to carbon dioxide is 2:1 so ammonia will be the limiting reactant. Since 2 moles of ammonia react with one mole of #CO_2#, (0.03742/2 = 0.1871) moles of #CO_2# can be used, and 0.0724 moles of #CO_2# will be left over.

Explanation:

#((6.372 g) )/ (17.03(g/(mol)))# #= 0.3742mol NH_3#

#((11.42 g)) /(44.01(g/(mol))# #= 0.02595 mol CO_2#
Since 2 moles of ammonia react with one mole of #CO_2#, (0.03742/2 = 0.1871) moles of #CO_2# can be used, and 0.0724 moles of #CO_2# will be left over.

#(0.0724 mol# #CO_2#)#(44.01g/(mol)) = 3.19 g# left over #CO_2#

One mole of urea is formed for each mole of #CO_2# consumed, so 0.1872 moles of urea will be produced.
#(0.1872 (mol urea))(60.06 (g/(mol)))=11.24g# urea produced
