Solution

Laboratory Preparation of Ammonia $({NH}_{3})$ from magnesium nitride $({Mg}_{3} N_{2})$ :
In the laboratory, ammonia gas can also be prepared by pouring warm water on magnesium nitride $({Mg}_{3} N_{2})$ .
When water is poured over magnesium nitride, ammonia gas and hydroxide of respective magnesium is formed.
One mole of magnesium nitride reacts with six moles of water to form three moles of $Mg {(OH)}_{2}$ and two moles of ammonia.
Therefore, the complete and balanced equation is:
${Mg}_{3} N_{2} (s) + 6 H_{2} O (l) ⟶ 3 Mg (OH)_{2} (aq) + 2 {NH}_{3} (g) ↑$
