Question

Write the balanced equation for:

Magnesium nitride + water -> magnesium hydroxide + ammonia

MgNO2 + H2O -> MgOH + NH3

Is this correct?

Answer 1

magnesium nitride is Mg3N2.
Magnesium nitrite is MgNO2

Answer 2

so would it be

Mg3N2 + H2O -> 2MgOH + NH3

Answer 3

Almost. It forms Mg(OH)2 + NH3
