Explanation:

Step 1: Define

[RxN - Unbalanced] Mg + N₂ → Mg₃N₂

[RxN - Balanced] 3Mg + N₂ → Mg₃N₂

[Given] 1.22 g Mg

[Solve] grams Mg₃N₂

Step 2: Identify Conversions

[RxN] 3 mol Mg → Mg₃N₂

[PT] Molar Mass of Mg - 24.31 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of N - 14.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of Mg₃N₂ - 3(24.31) + 2(14.01) = 100.95 g/mol

Step 3: Stoich

  1. [DA] Set up:                                                                                                      [tex]\displaystyle 1.22 \ g \ Mg(\frac{1 \ mol \ Mg}{24.31 \ g \ Mg})(\frac{1 \ mol \ Mg_3N_2}{3 \ mol \ Mg})(\frac{100.95 \ g \ Mg_3N_2}{1 \ mol\ Mg_3N_2})[/tex]
  2. [DA] Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]:                                                         [tex]\displaystyle 1.68873 \ g \ Mg_3N_2[/tex]

Step 4: Check

Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.

1.68873 g Mg₃N₂ ≈ 1.69 g Mg₃N₂
