Question
![The image contains instructions and a partially completed chemical equation as follows:
**Instructions**: "Complete and balance the following half-reaction in acidic solution"
**Chemical Equation**:
\[
N_2(g) \rightarrow NH_4^+(aq)
\]
Below the equation, there is a numerical and symbol keypad. This includes:
- Numbers: 1 through 9, and 0.
- Charges: \(^-\), \(1^-\), \(2^-\), \(3^-\), \(4^-\), \(1^+\), \(2^+\), \(3^+\), \(4^+\).
- State symbols: \((s)\) for solid, \((l)\) for liquid, \((g)\) for gas, \((aq)\) for aqueous.
- Mathematical symbols: plus (+), parentheses (( )), and an arrow (→, ↔).
The task is to enter the correct coefficients, charges, and possibly other species (like protons, electrons, or water molecules) to balance the reaction under acidic conditions.
This involves ensuring that there is mass balance (same number of each type of atom on both sides of the equation) and charge balance.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F406f646c-01f0-4aee-a287-72ab23de63a7%2F4117a967-5ae1-48d5-b845-c29b20b54ad3%2F8reud77_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
