- Magnesium reacts with Nitrogen gas to produce Magnesium nitride.  Write and balance chemical equation.
- This seems interesting. But I only know the first step. Hope somebody finishes what I started
- Magnesium + Nitrogen gas             Magnesium Nitride 
- Step 1: Convert the given problem into a word equation
- Magnesium reacts with Nitrogen gas to produce Magnesium nitride.  Write and balance chemical equation.
- ******
- Ohhh! An unfinished chemical equation.  I'm gonna test my inner scientist abilities
- Mg(s) + N2(g)        Mg3N2(s)
- Magnesium + Nitrogen gas             Magnesium Nitride 
- Step 2:  Convert the word equation into a chemical equation. Note: Lookout for diatomic substances like nitrogen
- Magnesium reacts with Nitrogen gas to produce Magnesium nitride.  Write and balance chemical equation.

- Am I obliged to continue this? Arghhh why am I in STEM!
- 3Mg(s) + N2(g)        Mg3N2(s)
- Mg(s) + N2(g)        Mg3N2(s)
- Magnesium + Nitrogen gas             Magnesium Nitride 
- Step 3: Balance the chemical equation by adding coefficients on both sides so that both sides have the same number of atoms.This satisfy the law  of conservation of matter
