    A piece of magnesium ribbon was heated to redness in an atmosphere of nitrogen and on cooling water was added. The gas evolved was:

    A)  ammonia           

    B)  hydrogen

    C)   nitrogen                            

    D)   oxygen

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Write the reaction to find product. (i)\[3Mg+{{N}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{magnesium\,\,nitride}{\mathop{M{{g}_{3}}{{N}_{2}}}}\,\] (ii)\[M{{g}_{3}}{{N}_{2}}+6{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{{}}3Mg{{(OH)}_{2}}+2N{{H}_{3}}\] \[\therefore \]gas evolved is ammonia\[(N{{H}_{3}})\]
