Answer is 2 : 1.


Explanation;


Reaction between NH₃ and O₂ can give N₂ and H₂O as products. The balanced reaction equation is

4NH₃ + 3O₂ → 2N₂ + 6H₂O


According to the balanced equation, 4 molecules of NH₃ react with 2 molecules of N₂.

Hence, the stoichiometric ratio between NH₃ and N₂ is 2 : 1.


Stoichiometric ratio = molar ratio


Hence, molar ratio between NH₃ and N₂ is 2 : 1. This can be written as

moles of NH₃ / moles of N₂ = 2 / 1
