Question

What would you do to balance this reaction?

N₂ + H₂ → NH3
SELECT THREE

A. Double the coefficient of N₂ (2 N₂)
B. Multiply coefficient of H₂ by 3 (3 H₂)
C. Multiply subscripts of H₂ by 3 (H6)
D. Double the subscripts for NH3 (N₂H6)
E. Double the coefficient of NH3 (2NH3)

Answer 1

A, B and E are correct. To balance the equation N₂ + H₂ → NH3, you need to double the coefficient of N₂, multiply the coefficient of H₂ by 3, and double the coefficient of NH3.

Step-by-step explanation:

To balance the reaction N₂ + H₂ → NH3, you would select the following three options:

A. Double the coefficient of N₂ (2 N₂)

B. Multiply the coefficient of H₂ by 3 (3 H₂)

E. Double the coefficient of NH3 (2NH3)

By doubling the coefficients of N₂ and NH3 and multiplying the coefficient of H₂ by 3, the number of atoms on each side of the reaction will be equal, resulting in a balanced equation.
