. Magnesium burns in oxygen to form magnesium oxide. However, when magnesium burns in air, which is only about 1/5 oxygen, side reactions form other products, such as magnesium nitride, Mg3N2 . a. Write a balanced equation for the burning of magnesium in oxygen. b. If enough magnesium burns in air to produce 2.04 g of magnesium oxide but only 1.79 g is obtained, what is the percentage yield? c. Magnesium will react with pure nitrogen to form the nitride, Mg3N2 . Write a balanced equation for this reaction. d. If 0.097 mol of Mg react with nitrogen and 0.027 mol of Mg3N2 is produced, what is the percentage yield of the reaction?

wher is the rest of the question

as given the equation is

2al + 6 hcl > 2 alcl3 + 3 h2(g)

as per equation two moles of aluminum reacts with six moles of hcl to give two moles of alcl3 and three moles of hydrogen gas

given: three moles of al are present and 7 moles of hcl

for three moles of aluminum nine moles of hcl will be required

however as 7 moles of hcl are present so the limiting reagent is hcl

hcl is going to decide the number of moles of product formed

when six moles of hcl are present = 3 moles of h2 are formed

when one mole of hcl is present == 3/6 mole sof h2 will be formed

when 7 moles of hcl are present = 3 x 7/ 6 moles of h2 will be formed = 3.5 moles of h2
