The chemical equation for the formation of ammonia is unbalanced. 3h2(g) + n2(g) > nh3(g) if three molecules of hydrogen react with one molecule of nitrogen, how many molecules of ammonia would be formed?

2 molecules of ammonia

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The balanced chemical equation for the formation of ammonia is:

According to stoichiometry,

3 molecules of hydrogen combines with 1 molecule of nitrogen to give 2 molecules of ammonia.

every chemical equation adheres to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. therefore, there must be the same number of atoms of each element on each side of a chemical equation.
