Question

What happens when Aluminum metal is exposed to nitrogen gas?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Aluminium react with nitrogen to produce aluminium nitride(Aln). This reaction takes place at a temperature of 800-1200°C. Aluminium has a higher affinity for oxygen than nitrogen, and so in the presence of oxygen and nitrogen will form Al 2O 3 in preference to AlN.
