Question

magnesium ribbon is burnt in oxygen to give a white compound X accompanied by emission of light if burning Ribbon is now placed in an atmosphere of Nitrogen it continues to burn and form a compound why write the chemical formula of X and Y write balanced chemical equation when X is dissolved in water​

Answer 1

(a)X is Magnesium Oxide - MgO and Yis Magnesium nitride - Mg3N2.

(b)MgO + H2O + Mg(OH)2

Answer 2

Answer:

2mg+ o2 --> 2MgO

(compound X)

MgO + N2 ----> Mg3N2 + o2

(compound Y)

balanced equation--

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