Magnesium reacts with Nitrogen gas to produce Magnesium nitride. Write and balance chemical equation.
Hmm... I agree with you. Let's just put the first step. Hopefully, someone will finish it.
This looks interesting. However, I don't know the full answer...
Magnesium + Nitrogen gas Magnesium Nitride
Step 1: Convert the given problem into a word equation
Magnesium reacts with Nitrogen gas to produce Magnesium nitride. Write and balance chemical equation.

Ohhh! An unfinished chemical equation. This will test my abilities in chemistry. I will put the next step!
Mg(s) + N2(g) Mg3N2(s)
Magnesium + Nitrogen gas Magnesium Nitride
Step 2: Convert the word equation into a chemical equation. Note: Lookout for diatomic substances like nitrogen

Now, now, look at this. It seems like the students tried to solve this problem. I will now put the last step to finish the equation.
Mg(s) + N2(g) Mg3N2(s)
3Mg(s) + N2(g) Mg3N2(s)
Magnesium + Nitrogen gas Magnesium Nitride
Step 3: Balance the chemical equation by adding coefficients on both sides so that both sides have the same number of atoms.This satisfy the law of conservation of matter
