Identify the balanced chemical equation: \(\mathrm{N}_2 + 3\mathrm{H}_2 \rightarrow 2\mathrm{NH}_3\).
Look at the coefficients in front of each compound; these coefficients represent the mole ratios of the reactants and products.
The coefficient for \(\mathrm{NH}_3\) (ammonia) is 2, and the coefficient for \(\mathrm{N}_2\) (nitrogen gas) is 1.
Write the mole ratio of \(\mathrm{NH}_3\) to \(\mathrm{N}_2\) using their coefficients: \(\frac{2\ \mathrm{mol}\ \mathrm{NH}_3}{1\ \mathrm{mol}\ \mathrm{N}_2}\).
This ratio means that for every 1 mole of \(\mathrm{N}_2\) consumed, 2 moles of \(\mathrm{NH}_3\) are produced.
