Use tabulated DHf data to calculate DH for the reaction:
2 NH3(g) + 3 O2(g) + 2 CH4(g) ® 2 HCN(g) + 6 H2O(g)
The reaction is 2 NH3(g) + 3 O2(g) + 2 CH4(g) --> 2 HCN(g) + 6 H2O(g)
ΔHof(NH3(g))= -45.90 kJ/mol, ΔHof(O2(g))= 0, ΔHof(CH4(g))= -74.9 kJ/mol
ΔHof(HCN(g))= +130.5 kJ/mol, ΔHof(H2O(g)) = -241.82kJ/mol
ΔHr= ∑ nΔHof (products)- ∑ nΔHof (reactants)
ΔHr= 2* ΔHof(HCN(g))+6*ΔHof(H2O(g)) - 2*ΔHof(NH3(g)) -3* ΔHof(O2(g))-2* ΔHof(CH4(g))
ΔHr= 2*+130.5 + 6*-241.82 - 2*-45.90 - 2*0 - 2*-74.9 = 261-1450.92 + 91.8 - 0+ 149.8= -948.32 kJ
