4 moles

Answer 1

The balanced chemical equation for the synthesis of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen is:

\[ N_2 + 3H_2 \rightarrow 2NH_3 \]

From the equation, we can see that 1 mole of nitrogen gas (N2) reacts with 3 moles of hydrogen gas (H2) to produce 2 moles of ammonia (NH3).

Therefore, if 1 mole of nitrogen gas reacts with 3 moles of hydrogen gas, the amount of ammonia produced is:

2 moles of NH3.
