The amount of ${{\text{N}}_2}$ initially taken is $\boxed{{\text{1}}{\text{.5 mol}}}$ and the amount of ${{\text{H}}_2}$ initially taken is $\boxed{{\text{2}}{\text{.5 mol}}}$ .

Further explanation:

Stoichiometry of a reaction is used to determine the amount of species present in the reaction by the relationship between the reactants and products. It can be used to determine the moles of a chemical species when the moles of other chemical species present in the reaction is given.

Consider the general reaction,

${\text{A}}+2{\text{B}}\to3{\text{C}}$

Here,

A and B are reactants.

C is the product.

One mole of A reacts with two moles of B to produce three moles of C. The stoichiometric ratio between A and B is 1:2, the stoichiometric ratio between A and C is 1:3 and the stoichiometric ratio between B and C is 2:3.

The balanced chemical equation for the formation of ${\text{N}}{{\text{H}}_3}$ is as follows:

${{\text{N}}_2}\left(g\right)+3{{\text{H}}_2}\left(g\right)\to2{\text{N}}{{\text{H}}_3}\left(g\right)$

The balanced chemical equation shows that 1 mole of ${{\text{N}}_2}$ and 3 moles of ${{\text{H}}_2}$ reacts to form 2 moles of ${\mathbf{N}}{{\mathbf{H}}_{\mathbf{3}}}$ .

In the question, reaction started with the unknown quantity of reactant ${{\text{N}}_2}$ and ${{\text{H}}_2}$ and stopped when 1.0 mol ammonia was produced. Also, reactants left in the reaction mixture are 1.0 mol of ${{\text{H}}_2}$ and 1.0 mol of ${{\text{N}}_2}$ .

According to the balance reaction 2 moles of ammonia is produced by the 3 moles of ${{\text{H}}_2}$ . Thus amount of hydrogen molecule required to produce 1 mole of ammonia is,

$\begin{gathered}{\text{Moles of }}{{\text{H}}_2}=\frac{{3{\text{ mol }}{{\text{H}}_2}}}{{2{\text{ mol N}}{{\text{H}}_3}}}\times1{\text{ mol N}}{{\text{H}}_3}\\=1.5{\text{ mol }}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}\\\end{gathered}$

According to the balance reaction 2 moles of ammonia is produced by the 1 mole of ${{\text{N}}_2}$ . Thus the amount of ${{\text{N}}_2}$ molecule required to produce 1 mole of ammonia is,

$\begin{gathered}{\text{Moles of }}{{\text{N}}_2}=\frac{{1{\text{ mol }}{{\text{N}}_2}}}{{2{\text{ mol N}}{{\text{H}}_3}}}\times1{\text{ mol N}}{{\text{H}}_3}\\=0.5{\text{ mol }}{{\text{N}}_2}\\\end{gathered}$

Therefore, the amount of ${{\text{N}}_2}$ and ${{\text{H}}_2}$ are consumed until the reaction is stopped is 0.5 moles and 1.5 moles respectively.

Therefore, the amount of ${{\text{N}}_2}$ initially taken is,

$\begin{aligned}{\text{Amount of }}{{\text{N}}_2}&=\left({1.0 + 0.5}\right){\text{ mol}}\\&=1.5{\text{ mol}}\\\end{aligned}$

The amount of ${{\text{H}}_2}$ initially taken is,

$\begin{aligned}{\text{Amount of }}{{\text{H}}_2}&=\left({1.0 + 1.5}\right){\text{ mol}}\\&=2.5{\text{ mol}}\\\end{aligned}$
