<u>Answer:</u> The product of the given reaction is $Mg_3N_2(s)$

<u>Explanation:</u>

When magnesium solid reacts with nitrogen gas, it leads to the formation of an ionic solid known as magnesium nitride.

The chemical equation for the reaction of magnesium and nitrogen gas follows:

$3Mg(s)+N_2(g)\rightarrow Mg_3N_2(s)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of magnesium solid reacts with 1 mole of nitrogen gas to produce 1 mole of magnesium nitride.

The given reaction is considered as synthesis reaction.

Hence, the product of the given reaction is $Mg_3N_2(s)$

There are two binary compounds of mercury and oxygen. heating either of them results in the decomposition of the compound, with

grandymaker [24]

$\text{Hg} \text{O}$ and $\text{Hg}_{2} \text{O}$ .

Assuming complete decomposition of both samples,

$m(\text{Hg}) = m(\text{residure})$
$m(\text{O}) = m(\text{loss})$

First compound:

$m(\text{O}) = m(\text{loss}) = 0.6498 - 0.6018 = 0.048 \; g$
$m(\text{Hg}) = m(\text{residure}) = 0.6018 \; g$

$n = m/M$ ; $0.6498 \; g$ of the first compound would contain

$n(\text{O atoms}) = 0.048 \; g / 16 \; g \cdot mol^{-1}= 0.003 \; mol$
$n(\text{Hg atoms}) = 0.6018 \; g / 200.58 \; g \cdot mol^{-1}= 0.003 \; mol$

Oxygen and mercury atoms seemingly exist in the first compound at a $1:1$ ratio; thus the empirical formula for this compound would be $\text{Hg} \text{O}$ where the subscript "1" is omitted.

Similarly, for the second compound

$m(\text{O}) = m(\text{loss}) = 0.016 \; g$
$m(\text{Hg}) = m(\text{residure}) = 0.4172 - 0.016 = 0.4012 \; g$

$n = m/M$ ; $0.4172 \; g$ of the first compound would contain

$n(\text{O atoms}) = 0.016 \; g / 16 \; g \cdot mol^{-1}= 0.001 \; mol$
$n(\text{Hg atoms}) = 0.4012 \; g / 200.58 \; g \cdot mol^{-1}= 0.002 \; mol$

$n(\text{Hg}) : n(\text{O}) \approx 2:1$ and therefore the empirical formula

$\text{Hg}_{2} \text{O}$ .
