By considering the stoichiometries of hydrogen and nitrogen within ammonia, we can fairly easily deduce the chemical equation for this formation:</p>\n<p>$\\mathrm{N_2\\space +\\space 3H_2\\space\\rightleftharpoons\\space 2NH_3}$ .</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>We must, however, pay attention to the fact that we were given $\\mathrm{\\Delta G^\\circ}$, for the <strong>standard</strong> formation of ammonia, i.e. the formation of <strong>1 mole&nbsp;</strong>of ammonia under standard conditions.
