Question

A magnesium ribbon is burnt in oxygen to give a white compound x accompanied by emission of light. If the burning ribbon is now placed in an atmosphere of nitrogen, it continues to burn and forms a compound y.
1. write the chemical formulae of x and y.
2. write the balanced chemical equation where x is dissolved in water.​

Answer 1

1. x- magnesium oxide MgO

y- Magnesium nitride Mg3N2

2. MgO + 2H2O -------> Mg(OH)2 + H2

Answer 2

$hello$

1. x = Magnesium oxide ( MgO )

y = Magnesium nitride ( Mg3N2 )

2. MgO + 2H2O -------> Mg(OH)2 + H2

I hope my answer helps you ......✌
