(A) The reaction is $H_{2(g)} + N_{2(g)} \to NH_{3(g)}$. Balancing gives $3H_{2(g)} + N_{2(g)} \to 2NH_{3(g)}$.
$(b)$ The reaction is $H_{2}S_{(g)} + O_{2(g)} \to H_{2}O_{(l)} + SO_{2(g)}$. Balancing gives $2H_{2}S_{(g)} + 3O_{2(g)} \to 2H_{2}O_{(l)} + 2SO_{2(g)}$.
$(c)$ The reaction is $BaCl_{2(aq)} + Al_{2}(SO_{4})_{3(aq)} \to AlCl_{3(aq)} + BaSO_{4(s)}$. Balancing gives $3BaCl_{2(aq)} + Al_{2}(SO_{4})_{3(aq)} \to 2AlCl_{3(aq)} + 3BaSO_{4(s)}$.
$(d)$ The reaction is $K_{(s)} + H_{2}O_{(l)} \to KOH_{(aq)} + H_{2(g)}$. Balancing gives $2K_{(s)} + 2H_{2}O_{(l)} \to 2KOH_{(aq)} + H_{2(g)}$.
