Yes, this is a balanced chemical equation, and it obeys the Law of Conservation of Mass.


A balanced chemical equation obeys the Law of Conservation of Mass if there are the same numbers of each type of atom on each side of the reaction arrow.


N₂ + 3H₂ ⟶ 2NH₃


Let’s check the numbers.


Atom On the left On the right

N 2 2


H 6 6


We have the same numbers of H and O on each side of the reaction arrow.


The equation is balanced and it obeys the Law of Conservation

of Mass.
