Abstract Yields based on carbon are usually reported in prebiotic experiments, while energy yields (moles $ cal^{−1} $) are more useful in estimating the yields of products that would have been obtained from the primitive atmosphere of the earth. Energy yields for the synthesis of HCN and $ H_{2} $CO from a spark discharge were determined for various mixtures of $ CH_{4} $, CO, $ CO_{2} $, $ H_{2} $, $ H_{2} $O, $ N_{2} $ and $ NH_{3} $. The maximum yields of HCN and $ H_{2} $CO from $ CH_{4} $, CO, and $ CO_{2} $ as carbon sources are about 4×$ 10^{−8} $ moles $ cal^{−1} $.
