Question: Hydrogen cyanide, HCN, can be made by a two-step process. First, ammonia is reacted with O2 to give nitric oxide, NO. 4NH3(g) + 5O2(g)

Hydrogen cyanide, HCN, can be made by a two-step process. First, ammonia is reacted with O2 to give nitric oxide, NO.
4NH3(g) + 5O2(g) → 4NO(g) + 6H2O(g)
Then nitric oxide is reacted with methane, CH4.
2NO(g) + 2CH4(g) → 2HCN(g) + 2H2O(g) + H2(g)
When 24.2 g of ammonia and 25.1 g of methane are used, how many grams of hydrogen cyanide can be produced?
