<u>Answer:</u> The mass of HCN that could be made is 6.183 grams
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:
.....(1)
Given mass of ammonia = 5.90 g
Molar mass of ammonia = 17 g/mol
Putting values in equation 1, we get:

Given mass of oxygen gas = 11.0 g
Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol
Putting values in equation 1, we get:

Given mass of methane = 4.67 g
Molar mass of methane = 16 g/mol
Putting values in equation 1, we get:

For the given chemical reaction:

The mole ratio of the reactants are:

As, the moles of oxygen gas is the lowest. So, it is considered as the limiting reagent
By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
3 moles of oxygen gas produces 2 moles of HCN
So, 0.344 moles of oxygen gas will produce =
of HCN
Now, calculating the mass of HCN from equation 1, we get:
Molar mass of HCN = 27 g/mol
Moles of HCN = 0.229 moles
Putting values in equation 1, we get:

Hence, the mass of HCN that could be made is 6.183 grams
