4. The equation representiag the reaction used for the commercial preparation of hydrogen cyanide is 2CH4 + 30; +2NH,- 2 HCN + 6H20 Based on this equation, which of the following statements are correct? Rewrite incorrect statements to make them correct. (a) Three moles of O2 are required for 2 mol of NH3. (b) Twelve moles of HCN are produced for every 16 mol of O2 that react. 6 mol H20 2 mol CH (c) The mole ratio between H2O and CH4 is (d) When 12 mol of HCN are produced, 4 mol of H2O will be (e) When 10 mol of CHs, 10 mol of O2, and 10 mol of NH, are (0 When 3 mol each of CHs O2, and NHj are mixed and re-. formed. mixed and reacted, O2 is the limiting reactant. acted, 3 mol of HCN will be produced.
