Answer:
This reaction is the synthesis of Ammonia using Nitrogen and Hydrogen gas.
N+H→NH3
We must remember that Nitrogen and Hydrogen are both diatomic molecules in their standard gas form. This adjusts the equation to
N2+H2→NH3
Now we need to adjust coefficients in order to balance the atoms on each side of the equation. Currently, we have 2 atoms of nitrogen and 2 atoms of hydrogen on the reactant side and 1 atom of nitrogen and 3 atoms of hydrogen on the product side.
We can balance the hydrogens by placing a coefficient of 2 in front of ammonia and a coefficient of 3 in front of the hydrogen.
N2+3H2→2NH3
This gives us 6 hydrogen on each side and coincidentally the nitrogens now equal 2 on each side.

Answer:
Balance the equation N2 + H2 ⇒ NH3
Balancing chemical equations is usually easier than it looks
There are 2 Nitrogens and 2 Hydrogens on the left side
There are 1 Nitrogen and 3 Hydrogens on the right side
Hydrogen seems to be the more complicated term so we should start with that
_N2 + _H2 ⇒ _NH3
With 2 H on one side and 3 on the other, our common multiple is 6
To balance the H we need to multiply H2 by 3 and NH3 by 2
_N2 + 3H2 ⇒ 2NH3
Now that we have H balanced, we need to look at N
There are 2 Nitrogens on both sides of the equation, so in this case, it is done
