Consider the reaction of methane with ammonia and oxygen.
2CH4 (g) + 2NH3 (g) + 3O2 (g) 2HCN (g) + 6H2O (l)
Determine the limiting reactant in a mixture containing 86.5 g of CH4, 106 g of NH3, and 396 g of O2. Calculate the maximum mass (in grams) of hydrogen cyanide, HCN, that can be produced in the reaction.
The limiting reactant is:
NH3
O2
CH4
Amount of HCN formed = g
