What coefficients are required to balance #N_2 + H_2 -> NH_3#?

↳Redirected from "Suppose that I don't have a formula for #g(x)# but I know that #g(1) = 3# and #g'(x) = sqrt(x^2+15)# for all x. How do I use a linear approximation to estimate #g(0.9)# and #g(1.1)#?"

#N_2+3H_2→2NH_3#

Explanation:

#N_2+H_2→NH_3#

As written, there are #2# #N# atoms on the left and #1# on the right, while there are #2# #H# atoms on the left and #3# on the right.

Add a coefficient of 2 on the right:

#N_2+H_2→2NH_3#

Now there are #2# #N# atoms on both sides, but #2# #H# on the left and #6# on the right. Add a coefficient of #3# in front of the #H_2#.

#N_2+3H_2→2NH_3#

This is now a balanced equation.
