Answer to Problem 3.161QP
The mass of magnesium nitride is
The mass of magnesium oxide is
Explanation of Solution
To determine: the balanced chemical equations for the given
In given reaction, Magnesium nitride reacts with Water to form magnesium hydroxide and ammonia.
Therefore,
The chemical equation for this reaction is,
Balanced chemical equation of a reaction is written according to law of conservation of mass.
Therefore,
The total number of each atoms in the reactant side should equal to the total number of each atoms in the product side.
So, in order to balance a chemical equation, the coefficients of compounds or atoms are needed to be changed in such a way that total number of each atoms in the reactant side and the total number of each atoms in the product side is to become equal.
Hence,
The balanced equations for the given reactions are,
To determine: the mass of
The mass of
The mass of
The mass of ammonia produced is given as 2.813g.
Equation for Number of moles of a substance, from its given mass is,
Therefore,
The number of moles of ammonia produced in the reaction is,
The balanced chemical equation of the reaction is,
The mole ratio between
So, the
Equation for Number of grams of a substance from its number of moles is,
Then,
