12g of alkaline earth metal gives 14.8g of its nitride.Atomic weight of metal is

Answered by admin @



Let the metal be M with atmic wt. be x


so 3M + N2 ---->M3N2


      3x                   3x+28


 so,  12/3x   = 14.8/(3x+28)


which in solving for x gives 40


the metal is calcium and its nitride is Ca3N2
