Question

HCN is a highly toxic gas and can be formed at high temperatures in the following reaction: 2CH4 (g) + 3O2 (g) + 2NH3 (g) → 2HCN(g) + 6H2O (g) a) How many litres of CH4 (g), O2 (g) and NH3 (g) are needed to produce 15 litres of HCN (g)? b) How many litres of water will be produced in this reaction? Please explain where you get all your values from and your working out.

Answer 1

Answer & Page No-0 Given, HCN is a highly toxic gas and can be formed at high temperatures in the following reaction: 20H49) +30,(9) + 2NH3(g) → 2H0NG) +6+4069) (a) According to balancing Equation, 2x2214 litres of CH4 (g), 3 x 22:4 lits of O₂(g) and ax22. 4 litses of NH3(g) are needed to produce 2x2214 litres of HENCO). a> - litses of CH4lg), - litres of g) and - litres of altsg) are needed to Produce 15 litres of Hen - Number of litres of CHelg) = 15 15xfx dary XX%2:4 = 15 litres Number of litres of O₂ g) = (5x3 x 2704 2x 224 = 22.5 litres Number of litres of NH3(g) = 15*2*22/4 XX 24-4 = 15 litres

Page No - ② 15 litses of Chelg), 21.5 litses Of 029) and is litres of NH3(g) are needed to produce is littes of Hen. (b) According to balancing Cajvation - 2x 2214 litres of Hen and 6x22-4 litres of H₂O are produced. > is litres of HN and - litres of H₂O ale produced Number of litres of H₂O(g) are produced - 15x6x 224 2x224 = 45 litt's Of 420g)
