Kiley wants to balance the equation H2 + N2 NH3. Which would be her first step in balancing an equation? multiplying the subscripts in the atoms of the reactants together adding the coefficient 3 in front of H2 and the coefficient 2 in front of NH3 changing the subscripts so they match for the total number of atoms creating a chart that shows the number of atoms in the reactants and products
