How many grams of hydrogen are needed to react with 1.40 g of nitrogen to produce ammonia?

Write a balanced chemical reaction:

N2 + 3H2 ==> 2NH3

Looking at the mole ratios in this balanced equation you can see it takes 3 moles H2 to make 2 moles NH3.  So, next calculate the moles of NH3 represented by 1.80 g and then convert to moles of H2 needed:

moles of NH3 = 1.80 g x 1 mole/17 g = 0.106 moles NH3

Moles H2 needed = 0.106 moles NH3 x 3 moles H2/2 moles NH3 = 0.159 moles H2 needed

Grams H2 needed = 0.159 moles x 2 g/mole = 0.318 grams H2 needed
