Why is water added to The Crucible in order to complete the conversion to magnesium oxide?

Water is added to the crucible to convert magnesium (Mg) to magnesium oxide (Mg(OH)2) because when magnesium reactions with air, it also reacts with the nitrogen (N2) in the air to form magnesium nitride (Mg3N2).3 Mg + N2 --> Mg3N2By adding water to the crucible containing the magnesium nitride, the magnesium nitride will become magnesium hydroxide. The ammonia gas produced will rise out of the crucible, eliminating the nitrogen.Mg3N2 + H2O --> 3Mg(OH)2 + 2NH3After heating the magnesium hydroxide, the product becomes just magnesium oxide.3Mg(OH)2 + heat --> MgO + H2OIn other words, when water is added, the nitrogen will react with the water, causing it to form ammonia and thus evaporating from the substance. This leaves behind the magnesium hydroxide, which becomes magnesium oxide and water after it is heated.
