What elements are in magnesium nitride?

Nitride is an ion consisting of a single nitrogen atom with a 3- charge. This must be balanced by a positive ion, usually a metal ion. What metal it is can vary.


What will Sodium must be kept under?

Sodium must be kept under mineral oil to prevent it from reacting with moisture in the air and forming sodium hydroxide. Additionally, it should be stored in a cool, dry place away from sources of heat or ignition.


What is the balanced chemical equation for the reaction of solid magnesium metal and barium chloride?

In a chemical equation ,we must finish our chemical reaction with as many atoms of each element as when we started.the balanced chemical equation for the reaction of solid magnesium metal and barium chloride is given as .Mg + Bacl 2 -> Mgcl2 + Ba.


Why phosphorus stored in water whereas sodium stored in kerosene?

Because phosphorus is very reactive non metal. It catches fire if exposed to air. To prevent the contact of phosphorus with atmospheric oxygen,it is stored in water. Whereas,sodium is very reactive. It reacts vigorously with oxygen and water. A lot of heat is generated in the reaction. It is, therefore,stored in kerosene


Why are sodium and potassium stored in kerosene oil not in another oil?

It is important that the oil for storage of these metals be very water-resistant, and that it not have a high vapour pressure. It must not react with the metal. It is also nice if a storage oil is relatively non viscous and non-sticky so that the oil can be easily removed when the metal is needed. Being cheap also helps. Kerosene is the oil that best meets these requirements.

Which metal is kept under water?

Sodium is an example of a metal that must be stored under water to prevent it from reacting with air or moisture. Sodium is highly reactive and can ignite spontaneously upon exposure to oxygen. Placing it under water helps to keep it stable.

What is the appearance of the group 1?

High luster, reacts with air on contact so must be stored under kerosene, Soft metals that can easily be cut with a knife.


Why is it not possible to prepare magnesium by heating magnesium oxide in?

In what? Air? Oxygen? If so, you can't prepare any metal by doing that. Unless a metal occurs in its native form (as the metal), it will always have to be extracted from the ore by a reduction (NOT oxidation) process - that is so for all metals. For any reduction process to work on any metal compound, a reducing agent more elecropositive than the metal being extracted must be used.

Why must the mass of magnesium metal be no greater than 0.09g?

Excess magnesium metal can lead to an inaccurate result in the experiment due to a higher amount of unreacted magnesium impacting the measurements. Using a mass less than 0.09g ensures that all the magnesium reacts completely, leading to more accurate and reliable results.

Is magnesium a ferrous metal or a non-ferrous metal?

Magnesium is a non-ferrous metal. It is a lightweight, silvery-white metal that is commonly used in a variety of industries, including automotive and aerospace, due to its low density and high strength-to-weight ratio.
