Plants convert nitrogen into ammonia. This biological nitrogen fixation is effected by enzymes called nitrogenases. The enzymes assist in the transfer of electrons. The unbalanced reaction equation is
N₂(g) + H⁺(aq) + e^- $\rarr$ H₂(g) + NH₃(aq)
What is the stoichiometric coefficient for ammonia in the balanced reaction equation?

What is the stoichiometric coefficient for ammonia in the balanced reaction equation?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The balanced reaction equation is 8 N₂(g) + 16 H⁺(aq) + 8 e^-F1F1F1S1F1F1F10 NH₃(aq) + 10 NH3(g). Therefore, the stoichiometric coefficient for ammonia is 10, which corresponds to option B.
