Mg_3N_2+K_2O\Rightarrow\text{MgO}+K_3N

Step 1) We must balance our equation.


Mg_3N_2+3K_2O\Rightarrow3\text{MgO}+2K_3N

(we will work with this equation)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 2) The limiting reactant = K2O

We need to find the mass of K3N, so we need its molar mass (use the periodic table):

Molar Mass K3N = 130 g/mol (approx.)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 3) Use the stoichiometry

3 x 1 mole of K2O ----------- 2 x 130 g of K3N

14 moles of K2O----------- X


X\text{ = }\frac{14\text{ moles x 2x130 g}}{3\text{ x 1mole}}=\text{ 1213.13 g =1200 g (approx.) }

Answer: Mass of K3N = 1200 g (approx.)
