| Draw up the formula of the compound formed by magnesium and nitrogen, and calculate what amount of a substance corresponds to 5 g of this substance.
Given:
MgxNy
m (MgxNy) = 5 g
To find:
n (MgxNy) -?
Decision:
1) Since magnesium will exhibit an oxidation state (+2), nitrogen will exhibit an oxidation state (-3); the formula for the unknown substance will be:
Mg3N2;
2) Calculate the molar mass of Mg3N2:
M (Mg3N2) = Mr (Mg3N2) = Ar (Mg) * N (Mg) + Ar (N) * N (N) = 24 * 3 + 14 * 2 = 100 g / mol;
3) Calculate the amount of Mg3N2 substance:
n (Mg3N2) = m (Mg3N2) / M (Mg3N2) = 5/100 = 0.05 mol.
Answer: The amount of Mg3N2 substance is 0.05 mol.
