    The reaction of formation of NH₃ is as follows;

    N₂ + 3H₂ - - - > 2NH₃

    the stoichiometry of H₂ to NH₃ is 3:2

    for every 3 moles of H₂ that reacts, 2 moles of NH₃ are produced

    the mass of H₂ that has been used up = 5.81 x 10⁻⁴ g

    molar mass of H₂ = 2 g/mol

    number of H₂ moles that were used up = 5.81 x 10⁻⁴ g / 2 g/mol

    = 2.905 x 10⁻⁴ mol

    for every 3 mol of H₂ used up - 2 moles of NH₃

    for every 1 mol of H₂ used up - 2/3 moles of NH₃

    therefore for 2.905 x 10⁻⁴ mol of H₂ = 2/3 x 2.905 x 10⁻⁴ mol

    number of NH₃ moles produced = 1.94 x 10⁻⁴ mol

    number of NH₃ molecules in 1 mole = 6.022 x 10²³ molecules

    therefore in 1.94 x 10⁻⁴ mol = 6.022 x 10²³ molecules/mole x 1.94 x 10⁻⁴ mol

    therefore number of NH₃ molecules produced = 1.168 x 10²⁰ NH₃ molecules
