Hydrogen Gas Combines With Nitrogen to Form Ammonia. Translate the Following Statement into the Chemical Equation and then Balance the Equation

Hydrogen gas combines with nitrogen to form Ammonia

The balanced reaction is:

3H2(g) + N2(g)→NH3(g)

The forward reaction is exothermic and results in the formation of Ammonia gas (NH3). Formation of ammonia is an exothermic reaction because of the difference in the bond energies between the products and reactants.
