The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between gaseous ammonia (NH3) and gaseous oxygen (O2) to form gaseous nitrogen monoxide (NO) and gaseous water (H2O) is:

4 NH3(g) + 5 O2(g) → 4 NO(g) + 6 H2O(g)

This equation shows that four moles of ammonia react with five moles of oxygen to produce four moles of nitrogen monoxide and six moles of water. It is important to note that this equation is balanced, meaning that the same number of atoms of each element are present on both the reactant and product sides of the equation.
