### Chemical Reaction Problem

**Given the following equation:**

\[ 2 \, \text{N}_2 \, (\text{g}) + 3 \, \text{H}_2 \, (\text{g}) \rightarrow 2 \, \text{NH}_3 \, (\text{g}) \]

**Question:**

How many moles of \(\text{NH}_3\) are produced if 20 mol of \(\text{N}_2\) reacts?

- **Input Field:**  
  The input box contains the answer "60" with an indication that it is incorrect (marked with a red cross). The correct molar ratio should be used instead to compute the right number of \(\text{NH}_3\) moles based on the stoichiometry of the reaction.

**Submit Button:**  
A blue "Submit Question" button is provided for input submission.

Expert Solution
Step 1

The balanced reaction taking place is,

=> N2 (g) + 3 H2 (g) ------> 2 NH3 (g) 

NOTE : In question, the balancing given is incorrect.

The coefficient of N2 will be 1 and not 2.
