"7 mol H"_2" will produce ~~5color(white)(.)"mol NH"_3".

Explanation:

Balanced Equation

"N"_2+"3H"_2rarr"2NH"_3

Since the amount of "N"_2" was not stated, I am assuming that it is in excess, which means we don't need to worry about it.

All we have to do is multiply the given moles of "H"_2" by the mole ratio between "H"_2" and "NH"_3" in the balanced equation. Since we want to end up with "NH"_3", we put it in the numerator.

7color(red)cancel(color(black)("mol H"_2))xxoverbrace(2"mol NH"_3)^color(red)("mole ratio")/(3color(red)cancel(color(black)("mol H"_2)))="5 mol NH"_3" rounded to one significant figure
