Question

draw born harbors cycle of mg3n2

Answer 1

first do you know how to calculate born harbors?

Answer 2

start with balanced equation with constituent elements in their natural state:

3Mg(s) + N2(g) ---> Mg3N2(s)

the goal is to break down this process into its individual ionization, atomization, etc. steps.

start with Mg:

3Mg(s) ---> 3Mg(g)
and add the appropriate enthalpy of sublimation (remember the 3 coefficient)

3Mg(g) ---> 3Mg2+(g) + 6e-
and add the appropriate first and second ionization energies

repeat this process with N2. the N2(g) first dissociates into 2N(g) then ionizes into 2N^(3-)(g)

when you have all the processes, draw the cycle.

Answer 3

@imqwerty would you mind checking my work when you get a chance, I haven't done this in ages

Answer 4

that is correct
