Question

(fHydrogen cyanide, a useful intermediate in the production of other pharmaceuticals and other chemicals, can be be prepared according to the following reaction:

CH4(g) + NH3(g) ⟶⟶ HCN(g) + 3 H2(g).         ΔΔHrxn= ????

Use the information provided to calculate the change in enthalpy for this reaction

N2(g) + 3 H2(g) ⟶⟶  2 NH3(g).                 ΔΔHrxn= -91.8 kJ/mol

C(s) + 2 H2(g) ⟶⟶ CH4(g).                        ΔΔHrxn= -74.9 kJ/mol

H2(g) + 2 C(s) + N2(g) ⟶⟶ 2 HCN(g)       ΔΔHrxn= +270.3 kJ/mol
