N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃, name the type of reaction.

The reaction: N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃

is known as a synthesis reaction (or combination reaction).

Explanation:

  • Synthesis Reaction: In this type of reaction, two or more reactants combine to form a single product. In this case, nitrogen gas (N2) and hydrogen gas (H2​) combine to form ammonia (NH3​).
  • General Form: The general form of a synthesis reaction is: A+B→AB Here, nitrogen (N₂) and hydrogen (H2) are the reactants that combine to form ammonia (NH3​), the product.

This reaction is also known as the Haber process, which is used industrially to synthesize ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen.
