Question

magnesium ribbon is burnt in atmosphere of nitrogen gas to form solid magnesium nitride. write chemical reaction formula

Answer 1

MgS + N2 --------------> 2Mg3N2.

Answer 2

The required chemical formula is $\bold{3 \mathrm{Mg}+\mathrm{N}_{2} \rightarrow \mathrm{Mg}_{3} \mathrm{N}_{2}}$

Explanation:

In the atmosphere, the magnesium ribbon is burnt in the nitrogen gas in order to form magnesium nitride which is in the solid state.

Magnesium ribbon is Mg, Nitrogen is N2. The chemical equation is given by:  

$\mathrm{Mg}+\mathrm{N}_{2} \rightarrow \mathrm{Mg}_{3} \mathrm{N}_{2}$

On balancing the equation, we get:

$3 \mathrm{Mg}+\mathrm{N}_{2} \rightarrow \mathrm{Mg}_{3} \mathrm{N}_{2}$

On balancing the equation, three moles of Magnesium ribbon is treated with one mole of nitrogen to form the balanced magnesium nitride.
