Balance the equation: N2 + H2 → NH3

The balanced equation is N2 (g) + 3H2 (g) → 2NH3(g). Steps to calculate the Balance of the equation: N2 + H2 → NH3.

Step 1: Given the equation:

N2 + H2 → NH3

Step 2: The procedure used to balance the equation

utilising the standard approach for balancing chemical equations. In line with the method:

• To start, add up all the atoms of each element on both the reactant and product sides.
• Molecules containing an element with a distinct number of atoms on the reactant side and the product side should be given stoichiometric coefficients.
• The number of atoms on either side must be balanced by the coefficient.
• Typically, the hydrogen and oxygen stoichiometric coefficients are assigned last.
• The stoichiometric coefficient must be multiplied by the total number of atoms of an element present in 1 molecule of the species to determine the number of atoms in one species.
• Continue doing this until both the reactant and product sides have the same number of all the atoms of the reacting components.
