Hydrogen cyanide, HCN, is prepared from ammonia, air, and natural gas (CH4) by the following process: Pt 2NH3(g) + 302(g) + 2CH4(g) 2HCN(g) + 6H20(g) Hydrogen cyanide is used to prepare sodium cyanide, which is used in part to obtain gold from gold-containing rock. If a reaction vessel contains 11.5 g NH3, 12.0 g 02, and 10.5 g CH4, what is the maximum mass in grams of hydrogen cyanide that could be made, assuming the reaction goes to completion as written?
