Part C HCN forms when synthetic fibers containing Orlon® or Acrilan burn. Acrilan has an empirical formula of CH2CHCN, sc HCN is 50.9% of the formula by mass. A rug in the laboratory measures 12.0x 15.0 ft and contains 30.0 oz of Acrilan® fib per square yard of carpet. If the rug burns, what mass of HCN will be generated in the room? Assume that the yield of HCI from the fibers is 20.0% and that the carpet is 36.0 % consumed. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
