Ammonia can be prepared by the reaction of magnesium nitride with water. the products are ammonia and magnesium hydroxide. write and balance the equation.

Mg3N2 +6H2O--> 2NH3 + 3Mg (OH)2

Mg3N2 + 6H20 → 2NH3  + 3Mg(OH)2

Explanation:

The reactant side(left side) of the equation is given as magnesium nitride and  water.

magnesium nitride  = combination of magnesium ion and nitrogen ion

Magnesium is the positive end or cation while Nitrogen is the anions or negative end

Mg2+  and  N3-

cross multiply the charges

Mg3N2 = magnesium nitride

H20 = water

Reactant = Mg3N2 + H20

Product  = NH3  + Mg(OH)2

For ammonia

N3- and H+

cross multiply the charges

NH3

For Magnesium hydroxide

Mg2+ and (OH)-

cross multiply the charges

Mg(OH)2

Combining the reactant and the product

Mg3N2 + H20 → NH3  + Mg(OH)2

Balancing the equation, we make the number of atom on the left side equal to the right side.

Mg3N2 + 6H20 → 2NH3  + 3Mg(OH)2

on the reactant side

Mg = 3

N = 2

H = 12

O = 6

On the product side

N  = 2

H = 6 + 6 = 12

Mg = 3

O = 6

smooth muscle is composed of involuntary muscles found within the walls of organs and structures such as the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and blood vessels. those muscles push materials like food or blood through organs. unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle can never be under your control.
