#"0.5 mol NH"_3#

Explanation:

Reaction equation for formation of ammonia #("NH"_3)# is

#"N"_2 + "3H"_2 -> "2NH"_3#

From above equation,
#1# mole of #"N"_2# reacts to give #2# moles of #"NH"_3#

So, #0.25# mol of #"N"_2# will give

#0.25 cancel("mol N"_2) × ("2 mol NH"_3)/(1 cancel("mol N"_2)) = "0.5 mol NH"_3#

#0.50 "mol NH"_3#

Explanation:

  1. Let us write the stoichiometric equation for synthesis of Ammonia:
    #N_2(g)+ 3H_2(g)-> 2NH_3(g)#

  2. Use molar ratios
    #0.25 cancel("mol N"_2) * (2 "mol NH"_3)/ (1cancel("mol N"_2))=#

#0.50 "mol NH"_3#
