SECTION 3: Communication
4.
The equation below shows the reaction between magnesium nitride and water.
Mg3N2(s) + 6 H2O(1) →3 Mg(OH)2(s) + 2 NH3(g)
a)
What mass of magnesium nitride would you need to react with excess water to produce 25 grams
of ammonia?
the mess of Mohesium nitrade your ward need is
b) What mass of water would be reasonable to use for this reaction? (A reasonable amount for excess
reactant is 10% more than the limiting reactant)
c) If this experiment was actually done using the masses of the two reactants that you calculated in
parts a & b, and you only obtained 16.27g of ammonia, what would the percent yield be for your
experiment?
