Question

The synthesis of nitrogen trihydride from nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas is shown by which balanced chemical equation?



A)
N2(g) + H2(g) → NH3(g)


B)
N2(g) + 3H2(g) → 2NH3(g)


C)
2NH3(g) + 3H2(g) → N2(g)


D)
2NH3(g) → N2(g) + 3H2(g)
Eliminate

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B. N2(g) + 3H2(g) → 2NH3(g)

Explanation:

When nitrogen react with hydrogen, they form a product as shown below:

N2+ H2 → NH3

We need to balance the equation. This is illustrated below:

There are 2 atoms of nitrogen on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. To balance it, put 2 in front of NH3 as shown below:

N2+ H2 → 2NH3

Now, There are a total of 6 atoms of Hydrogen on the right side and 2 atoms on the left side side. This can be balanced by putting 3 in front of H2 as shown below:

N2+ 3H2 → 2NH3

Now we see clearly that the equation is balanced as we have equal numbers of atoms of N and H on both sides of the equation

Answer 2

Answer:B
