Given the chemical equation: N₂ + 3 H₂ → 2 NH₃.On a macroscopic level,what do the coefficients mean? A)1 atom of nitrogen reacts with 3 atoms of hydrogen to give 2 atoms of ammonia. B)1 mole of nitrogen reacts with 3 moles of hydrogen to give 2 moles of ammonia. C)1 molecule of nitrogen reacts with 3 molecules of hydrogen to give 2 molecules of ammonia. D)All of these are true.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The coefficients in a chemical equation represent the mole ratio between reactants and products. Therefore, option B, which refers to the mole ratio, is the correct answer. Option A refers to the number of atoms, which is not the correct interpretation of coefficients, and option C is incorrect because the equation does not specify the number of molecules involved. Option D is incorrect because options A and C are not correct.
