Answer

\[<br />\mathrm{N}_2 + 3\mathrm{H}_2 \rightarrow 2\mathrm{NH}_3<br />\]

Explain

## Step1: Write the unbalanced equation<br />### Write the chemical equation with all reactants and products, including their coefficients if known, which is:<br />\[<br />\mathrm{N}_2 + \mathrm{H}_2 \rightarrow \mathrm{NH}_3<br />\]<br /><br />## Step2: Balance nitrogen atoms<br />### On the left side, there are 2 nitrogen atoms in $\mathrm{N}_2$ and on the right side, there is 1 nitrogen atom in $\mathrm{NH}_3$. So, we need 2 molecules of $\mathrm{NH}_3$ to balance nitrogen:<br />\[<br />\mathrm{N}_2 + \mathrm{H}_2 \rightarrow 2\mathrm{NH}_3<br />\]<br /><br />## Step3: Balance hydrogen atoms<br />### On the left side, there are 2 hydrogen atoms in $\mathrm{H}_2$. Since there are 6 hydrogen atoms on the right side (in $2\mathrm{NH}_3$), we need 3 molecules of $\mathrm{H}_2$:<br />\[<br />\mathrm{N}_2 + 3\mathrm{H}_2 \rightarrow 2\mathrm{NH}_3<br />\]
