Answer: This reaction produces ammonia by combining nitrogen and hydrogen gas.
N+H→NH3
We must remember that in their standard gaseous form, nitrogen and hydrogen are both diatomic molecules. This changes the equation to N2+H2NH3.
To balance the atoms on each side of the equation, we must now adjust the coefficients. We currently have 2 nitrogen atoms and 2 hydrogen atoms on the reactant side and 1 nitrogen atom and 3 hydrogen atoms on the product side.
By putting a coefficient of 2 in front of ammonia and a coefficient of 3 in front of hydrogen, we can balance the hydrogens.
N2+3H2→2NH3
This gives us 6 hydrogen on each side, and the nitrogen’s now equal 2 on each side.
