In a compound of magnesium (Mg = 24) and nitrogen (N= 14 ), 18 g of magnesium combines with 7 g of nitrogen. Deduce the simplest formula by answering the following questions: (a) how many gram atoms of magnesium are equal to 18 g? (b) how many grams atoms of nitrogen equal to 7 g of nitrogen? (c) calculate simple ratio of gram atoms of magnesium to gram atoms of nitrogen and hence the simplest formula of the compound formed.
