Question

An initial mixture of nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas is reacted in a rigid container at a certain temperature by the reaction

3 H2(g) + N2(g) ⇄ 2 NH3(g)

At equilibrium, the concentrations are [H2] = 5.0 M, [N2] = 10 M, and [NH3] = 3.0 M. What were the concentrations of nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas that were reacted initially?

[H2]0 =  M

[N2]0 =  M
