Identify the chemical formula of ammonia, which is NH_3.
Determine the number of atoms of each element in one molecule of ammonia: there is 1 nitrogen (N) atom and 3 hydrogen (H) atoms.
Write the mole ratio of hydrogen to nitrogen by comparing the number of hydrogen atoms to nitrogen atoms in the formula.
Express the ratio as H:N = 3:1, since there are 3 hydrogen atoms for every 1 nitrogen atom.
Confirm that the mole ratio corresponds to the subscripts in the chemical formula, which represent the number of atoms of each element in one molecule.
