Question

Write balanced equation for the action of warm water on magnesium nitride.

Answer 1

The balanced equation for the action of warm water on magnesium nitride is given as follows:

$$\begin{gathered} {\mathrm{Mg}}_3{\mathrm{N}}_2\left(\mathrm{s}\right)+6{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{l}\right)\to 3\mathrm{Mg}{\left(\mathrm{OH}\right)}_2\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)+2{\mathrm{NH}}_3\left(\mathrm{g}\right) \\ \mathrm{Magnesium}\mathrm{nitride}\mathrm{Water}\mathrm{Magnesium}\mathrm{nitride}\mathrm{Ammonia} \end{gathered}$$
