Answer:

12 moles of water (E)

Explanation:

The first step is to see that the equation is balanced. It is now, but you did something strange to the Mg3N2.

Mg3N2(s) + 6H20(l)   ======>  3Mg(OH)2(s) + 2NH3(g)

What the equation is telling you is that 1 mol of Mg3N2 requires 6 moles of water for the reaction to occur.

So 2 mols of Mg3N2 would require 6*2 mols of water to react.

The answer is 12 moles of water
