Question

a magnesium ribbon is burnt in oxygen to give a white compound X is burning Ribbon is now placed in an atmosphere of Nitrogen it continues to burn and form compound y
(a) write the chemical formula of X and Y.
(b) write balanced chemical equation when X is dissolved into y

Answer 1

x=MgO,y=Mg(OH)2
2MgO+H2-2Mg(OH)2

Answer 2

Answer:

2mg+ o2 --> 2MgO

(compound X)

MgO + N2 ----> Mg3N2 + o2

(compound Y)

balanced equation--

MgO + h2o ---> mg(oh)2
