Question

Hydrogen cyanide is a highly poisonous, volatile liquid. It can be prepared by the reaction:
(1) CH4 (g) + NH3 (g) → HCN (g) + 3 H2 (g)
What is the heat of this reaction (DH for reaction (1))? Use Hess’s Law and the following
thermochemical equations to determine the answer.
N2 (g) + 3H2 (g) → 2NH3 (g) ; DH = -91.8 kJ
C(graphite) + 2H2 (g) → CH4 (g) ; DH = -74.9 kJ
H2 (g) + 2C (graphite) + N2 (g) → 2HCN (g) ; DH = 270.3 kJ
