If I have 100g of Magnesium, how much Magnesium Nitride will I theoretically create?
O 24.3g Mg3 N2
O 138.4g Mg3 N2
415.2g Mg3 N2
O 200g Mg3 N2

Answer:

Theoretical yield is 138.4 g

Explanation:

In the first step we determine the reaction:

3Mg + N₂Mg₃N₂

Mass of reactant is 100 g. We assume the nitrogen is in excess, so we work with Mg. We convert mass to moles:

100 g . 1mol/ 24.3g = 4.11 moles of Mg.

Ratio is 3:1. 3 moles of Mg can produce 1 mol of nitride

Our 4.11 moles, may produce (4.11 . 1)/3 = 1.37 moles of Mg₃N₂

We convert mass to moles, to find the theoretical yield:

1.37 mol . 100.9 g/mol = 138.2 g
