We assess the reaction....

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

Explanation:

And given the stoichiometric reaction, AND GIVEN Avogadro's condition that there are equal numbers of gaseous molecules in the same volume at a given pressure and temperature (the which pertains here....)....we require...

#2.24*L*N_2(g)xx3*L*H_2(g)*L^-1*N_2(g)#

#=6.72*L*H_2(g)#

The actual reaction is certainly not favoured under ordinary conditions and the equilibrium lies to the left as we face the page...

Why is this an important industrial reaction?
