Hydrogen cyanide gas can be made by a two step process. First, ammonia is reacted with oxygen gas to give nitrogen monoxide and water vapor. In the next step, nitrogen monoxide is reacted with methane (CH4) to give hydrogen cyanide gas. The by-products in the second step are water and hydrogen gas. When 23.9 g of ammonia and 27.4 g of methane are used, how many grams of hydrogen cyanide can be produced? Please do not include units in your answer. Assume both masses have 3 sig figs.

Liquid octane (CH3(CH2)6CH3) reacts with gaseous oxygen gas O2 to produce gaseous carbon dioxide CO2 and gaseous water H2O. If 64.0g of water is produced from the reaction of 92.52g of octane and 181.4g of oxygen gas, calculate the percent yield of water.
A chemist invents a new combustion analysis instrument that uses less O2(g) which saves money on each analysis. The improvement is that instead of CO2(g) being formed and trapped, CO(g) is formed and trapped. H2O (g) is also formed and trapped when substances that contain hydrogen are analyzed.(a) The chemist places 2.184 g of an unknown compound of carbon and hydrogen in the new analyzer. 4.627 g of CO (g) and 1.795 g of H2O (g) are produced. Find the empirical formula for the compound.(Molar masses (g/mol): CO = 28.0104, H2O = 18.015) (b) Despite the best efforts of the chemist, the molar mass of the compound cannot be determined (using this method). Clearly explain why this prevents the determination of the molecular formula
10. Ferrocene, synthesized in 1951, was the first organic iron compound with Fe-C bonds. An understanding of the structure of ferrocene gave rise to new ideas about chemical bonding and led to the preparation of many useful compounds. In the combustion analysis of ferrocene, which contains only Fe, C, and H, a 0.9437 g sample produced 2.233 g of CO2 and 0.457 g of H₂O. What is the empirical formula of ferrocene.
