a. Hydrogen cyanide is used in the manufacture of clear plastics such as Lucite and Plexiglas. It is prepared from ammonia and natural gas (CH4). 2NH3 (9) + 302 (9) + 2CH4 (9) → 2HCN(g) + 6H2O(g) The reaction evolves 939 kJ of heat per 2 mol HCN formed. Is the reaction endothermic or exothermic? endothermic O exothermic b. If 8 mol of HCN is produced, what is the value of q? kJ
