Question

Magnesium reacts with nitrogen to form magnesium nitride. The chemical formula for this reaction is Mg + N2 MgN2. What is the product, or what are the products, of this reaction? A. magnesium B. nitrogen C. magnesium nitride

Answer 1

The product of this reaction is C. magnesium nitride

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, the chemical formula for this reaction is wrong. It should be :

`Mg+N_(2)` ⇒
`Mg_(3)N_(2)` (I)

When we have a chemical reaction, for example :

`A+B` ⇒
`C`

The substances A and B are called the reactants.

The substance C is called the product.

In a chemical reaction there could be one or more reactants and one or more products.

In the equation (I) the magnesium nitride is in the products side.

Therefore, in the chemical reaction of magnesium and nitrogen the magnesium nitride is the product.

The correct option is C. magnesium nitride

Answer 2

"Magnesium nitride" is the one product of the reaction among the choices given in the question that is correct. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "C". I hope that this is the answer that has actually come to your great help.
