Ammonia burns in pure oxygen. The balanced equation is:
4NH3+3O2→2N2+6H2O4\mathrm{NH_{3}} + 3\mathrm{O_{2}} \rightarrow 2\mathrm{N_{2}} + 6\mathrm{H_{2}O}4NH3+3O2→2N2+6H2O
Statement 1: the equation shows 4 molecules of ammonia reacting with 6 atoms of oxygen
Statement 2: the total number of molecules is the same on both sides of the equation
Statement 3: the total mass of the products is equal to the total mass of the reactants
