Multiply the $N H_{3}$ $NH_3$ by $2$ $2$ .

Explanation:

To balance the below reaction you will need to multiply the $N H_{3}$ $NH_3$ by $2$ $2$ .

$2 N H_{3} + H_{2} S O_{4} \to {(N H_{4})}_{2} S O_{4}$ $color(red)(2)NH_3+H_2SO_4->(NH_4)_2SO_4$

Then you will have:

$2 N$ $2N$ to the left and $2 N$ $2N$ to the right.

$8 H = (2 \times 3) from 2 N H_{3} + 2 from H_{2} S O_{4}$ $8H=(2xxcolor(blue)(3)) " from " 2NH_(color(blue)(3)) +color(red)(2)" from " H_(color(red)(2))SO_4$ to the left and $8 H = 2 \times 4 from {(N H_{4})}_{2} S O_{4}$ $8H=2xxcolor(green)(4) " from " (NH_(color(green)(4)))_2SO_4$ to the right.

$S O_{4}$ $SO_4$ to the left and $S O_{4}$ $SO_4$ to the right.
