#1/2N_2(g)+3/2H_2(g) rightleftharpoons NH_3(g)#

Would it not be #20*mL#?

Of course, we have assumed stoichiometric reaction (the which is very unlikely)......

While the stoichiometric coefficients relate to moles NOT volume, given constant temperature and pressure, VOLUME is proportional to number of moles.
