Answer:

To decompose the Mg3N and release ammonium gas

Explanation:

Distilled water is the pure state of water, without mixing with other substances and microorganisms. It is obtained through the distillation process. Even though it is clean water, it is not suitable for consumption, however it can have several other applications, such as being added to the crucible after ignition of the magnesium metal, because it allows the decomposition of Mg3N and release of ammonium gas, avoiding the emergence of explosions.

2) Which liberates the most energy?

evablogger [386]

Answer: $F(g)+e^-\rightarrow F^-(g)$

Explanation:

Electron gain enthalpy is defined as energy released on addition of electron to an isolated gaseous atom.

The amount of energy released will be maximum when the tendency to attract electrons is maximum. As flourine has atomic number of 9 and has electronic configuration of 2,7. It can readily gain 1 electron to attain stable noble gas configuration and hence liberates maximum energy.
