A magnesium ribbon is burnt in oxygen to give a white compound X accompanied by emission of light. If the burning ribbon is now placed in an atmosphere of nitrogen, it continues to burn and forms a compound Y.

i. Write the chemical formulae of X and Y.
ii. Write a balanced chemical equation, when X is dissolved in water.
 
Magnesium ribbon burns in oxygen to form .
 
\(2Mg\) + \(O_2\) ​→ \(2MgO\)
 
Burning magnesium ribbon reacts with nitrogen to form .
 
\(3Mg\) + \(N_2\) ​→ \(Mg_3​N_2\)​

Therefore, the formula of \(X\) is \(MgO\) and \(Y\) is \(Mg_3​N_2\).
 
We already know \(X\) is \(MgO\). It dissolved in water to form magnesium hydroxide.The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is ​.
