QUESTION:

Hydrogen cyanide (and organic nitriles, which contain the cyano group) can be catalytically reduced with hydrogen to form amines. Use Lewis structures and bond energies to determine

 \(\Delta \mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{rxn}}^{\circ}\) for

\(\mathrm{HCN}(g)+2 \mathrm{H}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{NH}_{2}(g)\)

Equation Transcription:

 ΔH°rxn

Delta H°_rxn

HCN(g)+2H_2(g) rightarrow CH_3NH_2(g)

Text Transcription:

Delta H°_rxn

HCN(g)+2H_2(g) rightarrow CH_3NH_2(g)

ANSWER:

Solution 82P:

Here, we are going to determine the ∆H°rxn for the given reaction.

Step 1:

The enthalpy change of the reaction can be obtained from the equation.

We have to draw the Lewis structure for each of the molecule in the reactants and product.

Total valence electrons of HCN = 1+ 4 +5 =10
