In a common experiment in the general chemistry laboratory, magnesium metal is heated in air to produce MgO. MgO is a white soli

d, but in these experiments it often looks gray, due to small amounts of Mg3N2 , a compound formed as some of the magnesium reacts with nitrogen. Write a balanced equation for each reaction.

Explanation:

When magnesium metal burns is heated i the air it forms magnesium oxide.The balanced chemical reaction is given as:

2Mg+O_2\rightarrow 2MgO

2 moles of magnesium metal when reacts with 1 moles of oxygen it gives 2 moles of magnesium oxide which is white in color.

Some times along with formation of magnesium oxide small amount of magnesium nitride also produced due to which magnesium oxide appears grey in color .The balanced chemical reaction is given as:

3Mg+N_2\rightarrow Mg_3N_2

3 moles of magnesium combines with 1 mol of nitrogen gas to to give 1 mol of magnesium nitride.

Solute particles can be:____
Reptile [31]

Solute particles can be atoms, ions or molecules.

Explanation:

Solute is the material which has to be mixed in the solvent to prepare a solution. So the concentration of solute should be less than the solvent. Also the solute and solvent should be of same nature other they will not dissolve with each other. The solute can be made up of atoms, ions or molecules depending upon the solvent. If the solvent concentration is in moles, then the solute concentration can be taken as atoms, ions or molecules. Also the saturation point plays a main role in deciding the kind of particles taken for the solute.

Why does lithium form only lithium oxide and not peroxide or superoxide ​
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Lithium does form a peroxide as well as an oxide on burning in air and I suspect the low temperature reaction with air forms a significant amount of peroxide.
