1. Balance the chemical reaction for the production of hydrogen cyanide: NH3 (g) + O2 (g) + CH4 (g) → HCN (g) + __ H2O (g)

(Hint: none of the coefficients are larger than 6)

Kathleen Luna · Answer 1

2 NH ₃ + 3 O ₂ + 2 CH ₄ ⇒ 2 HCN + 6 H ₂ O

2mol : 2mol

34g : 54g

25,1g : x

x = (25,1g * 54g) / 34g ≈ 39,9g
