Magnesium nitride reacts with water to produce magnesium hydroxide and ammonia gas, as do many metal nitrides.. Mg 3 N 2 (s) + 6 H 2 O(l) → 3 Mg(OH) 2 (aq) + 2 NH 3 (g). In fact, when magnesium is burned in air, some magnesium nitride is formed in addition to the principal product, magnesium oxide.
The following chart shows the solubility of various ionic compounds in water at 1 atm pressure and room temperature (approx. 25 °C, 298.15 K). "Soluble" means the ionic compound doesn't precipitate, while "slightly soluble" and "insoluble" mean that a solid will precipitate; "slightly soluble" compounds like calcium sulfate may require heat to precipitate.
Sodium nitride and potassium nitride has been generated, but remains a laboratory curiosity. The nitrides of the alkaline earth metals that have the formula M 3 N 2 are however numerous. Examples include beryllium nitride (Be 3 N 2), magnesium nitride (Mg 3 N 2), calcium nitride (Ca 3 N 2), and strontium nitride (Sr 3 N 2). The nitrides of ...
Since magnesium nitrate has a high affinity for water, heating the hexahydrate does not result in the dehydration of the salt, but rather its decomposition into magnesium oxide, oxygen, and nitrogen oxides: 2 Mg(NO 3) 2 → 2 MgO + 4 NO 2 + O 2. The absorption of these nitrogen oxides in water is one possible route to synthesize nitric acid.
Manganese(II) nitrate refers to the inorganic compounds with formula Mn(NO 3) 2 ·(H 2 O) n.These compounds are nitrate salts containing varying amounts of water. A common derivative is the tetrahydrate, Mn(NO 3) 2 ·4H 2 O, but mono- and hexahydrates are also known as well as the anhydrous compound.
Magnesium oxide (Mg O), or magnesia, is a white hygroscopic solid mineral that occurs naturally as periclase and is a source of magnesium (see also oxide). It has an empirical formula of MgO and consists of a lattice of Mg 2+ ions and O 2− ions held together by ionic bonding .
Compounds containing Ga–Ga bonds are true gallium(II) compounds, such as GaS (which can be formulated as Ga 2 4+ (S 2−) 2) and the dioxan complex Ga 2 Cl 4 (C 4 H 8 O 2) 2. [1] There are also compounds of gallium with negative oxidation states, ranging from -5 to -1, most of these compounds being magnesium gallides (Mg x Ga y ).
Manganese nitrides are salts of manganese and the nitride ion. Four of these compounds are stable at atmospheric pressure.The most important is Mn 3 N 2, which catalyzes nitrogen fixation and is a high-temperature antiferromagnet.
