Hydrogen gas combines with nitrogen to from ammonia.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In this reaction, hydrogen combines with nitrogen to from ammonia. This can be written as:
`"Hydrogen"+"Nitrogen"to"Ammonia"`
or
`H_(2)+N_(2)toNH_(3)`
This equation has two H atoms on the left side but three H atoms on the right side. So let us multiply `H_(2)` by 3 and `NH_(3)` by 2 so that each side gets 6H atoms:
`" "3H_(2)+N_(2)to2NH_(3)`
Now, this equation contains an equal number of hydrogen atoms and nitrogen atoms on both the sides, so this is a balanced chemical equation.
Hydrogen, nitrogen and ammonia, are all gases, so we can write the above equation with state symbols as follows:
`" "3H_(2)(g)+N_(2)(g)to2NH_(3)(g)`
