3 IBr + 4 NH3 → NI3 + 3 NH4 + 3 Br

This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:

3 Br-I - 3 e- → 3 Br0 (oxidation)

3 II + 6 e- → 3 I-I (reduction)

3 N-III + 3 e- → 3 N-IV (reduction)

N-III - 6 e- → NIII (oxidation)

IBr is a reducing agent, IBr is an oxidizing agent, NH3 is an oxidizing agent, NH3 is a reducing agent.
