Question

Could you explain step by step how to do this?

Below are the reduction half reactions for chemolithoautotrophic denitrification, where hydrogen is a source of electrons and energy and nitrate is the terminal electron
acceptor.
• NO3 + 10e -> N₂ (E° = +0.74 V)
• H* + 2e -> H₂ (E° = -0.42 V)
If you balance and combine the reactions so that 420. moles of H₂ gas are oxidized to H*, how many moles of N₂ gas will be produced?
