Question

hat is the product when magnesium reacts with nitrogen? Mg(s) + N2(g) → Mg2N3(s) Mg3N(s) Mg3N2(s) MgN3(s)

Answer 1

3Mg + N₂ = Mg₃N₂

Mg₃N₂

Answer 2

Answer: The product of the given reaction is $Mg_3N_2(s)$

Explanation:

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 $Mg_3N_2(s)$
