Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The balanced chemical equation is:Mg3N2 + 3H2O → 2NH3 + 3MgOThe molar mass of Mg3N2 is 100.95 g/mol.The molar mass of MgO is 40.30 g/mol.The number of moles of Mg3N2 is 3.82 g / 100.95 g/mol = 0.0378 mol.The number of moles of MgO produced is 3 times the number of moles of Mg3N2, so the number of moles of MgO produced is 3 * 0.0378 mol = 0.114 mol.
