Question

Based on the following chemical equation how many hydrogen atoms are present in the products side?

Answer 1

The number of Hydrogen atoms = 6 atoms

Further explanation

Given

Reaction

N₂ + 3H₂ ⇒ 2NH₃

Required

The number of Hydrogen atoms

Solution

The reaction coefficient of a chemical equation shows the mole ratio of the reacting compound.

On a compound the reaction coefficient indicates the number of molecules

Whereas the subscript after the atom shows the number of atoms in that compound

Product from the reaction : 2NH₃

Number of H-atoms :

= 2 x 3

= 6 atoms
