Question
Balance the following equation stepwise.
Write down the steps in balancing the equation.
$N_{2(g)} + H_{2(g)}\rightarrow NH_{3(g)}.$

Answer

Step $1:$ Write the equation given.
$N_2 + H_2\rightarrow NH_3$_______________$(1)$
Now count the number of atoms of each elements on reactants and product side.
Elements No. of atoms in reactants No. of atoms in products
$N$ $2$ $1$
$H$ $2$ $3$
Step $2:$ Number of atoms of elements on both side is not same. So we need to balance it. First we will balance Nitrogen by writing coefficient $2$ for the product $NH_3.$
$N_2+ H_2 \rightarrow 2NH_3$____________$(2)$
Step $3$: Again count the number of atoms of elements on both sides.
Elements No. of atoms in reactants No. of atoms in products
$N$ $2$ $2$
$H$ $2$ $6$
Step $4:$ Number of atoms of Nitrogen is now balanced on both sides, but no. of atoms of hydrogen is not balanced. Therefore we write coefficient $3$ for Hydrogen on reactant side. The equation becomes:
$N_2 +3H_2 \rightarrow 2NH_3$
Elements No. of atoms in reactants No. of atoms in products
$N$ $2$ $2$
$H$ $6$ $6$
Now the equation is balanced.

Social health involves your ability to form satisfying interpersonal relationships with others.
It also relates to your ability to adapt comfortably to different social situations and act appropriately in a variety of settings. Spouses, co-workers and acquaintances can all have healthy relationships with one another. Each of these relationships should include strong communication skills, empathy for others and a sense of accountability. In contrast, traits like being withdrawn, vindictive or selfish can have a negative impact on your social health. Overall, stress can be one of the most significant threats to a healthy relationship. Stress should be managed through proven techniques such as regular physical activity, deep breathing and positive self-talk.
