Given:
175 kilograms of Methane (CH4) to be synthesized into Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN)
The balanced chemical equation is shown below:
2 CH4<span> + 2 NH</span>3<span> + 3 O</span>2<span> → 2 HCN + 6 H</span>2<span>O
</span>
To calculate for the masses of ammonia and oxygen needed, our basis will be 175 kg CH4.
Molar mass:
CH4 = 16 kg/kmol
NH3 = 17 kg/kmol
O2 = 32 kg/kmol
mass of NH3 = 175 kg CH4 / 16 kg/kmol * (2/2) * 17 kg/kmol
mass of NH3 = 185.94 kg NH3 needed
mass of O2 = 175 kg CH4 / 16 kg/kmol * (3/2) * 32 kg/kmol
mass of O2 = 525 kg
mass of O = 525 kg / 32 kg/kmol * (1/2) * 16 kg/kmol
mass of O = 131.25 kg O

Answer:
The mass of potassium required to produce a known mass of potassium chloride
Explanation:
Stoichiometry deals with the relationship between amount of substances, mass of substances or volume of substances required in a chemical reaction. Stoichiometric relationships may involve reactants alone or reactants and products. These relationships are normally in the form of simple proportion.
A typical example is our answer option, the mass of potassium required could be used to determine the mass of potassium chloride produced after a balanced reaction equation is written.
