  • 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
