Question

Magnesium ribbon is burnt in the atmosphere of nitrogen gas to form solid magnesium nitride​

Answer 1

Answer:

Reaction of magnesium with nitrogen is a combination reaction as these two reactants ( Mg and N

2

) combine together to form a single product as magnesium nitride (Mg

3

N

2

). The equation can be written as:

3Mg(s)+N

2

(g)→Mg

3

N

2

(s)

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