Question 5 • Foothill-B Period-Chemistry-26/27B
Reverse A so that NH3 is a reactant: 2NH3 → N2 + 3H2. Reverse B so that CH4 is a reactant: CH4 → C + 2H2; use it twice to match the other equations. Keep C as written, since it produces HCN. Adding the equations and canceling N2, C, and excess H2 gives 2NH3 + 2CH4 → 2HCN + 6H2, which simplifies to NH3 + CH4 → HCN + 3H2.
