As we learnt in

Action of alkaline earth metals with nitrogen -

form nitrides when of the type M_{3}N_{2}, these hydrolysed with water evolving NH3

- wherein

3M+N{_2}\rightarrow M{_3}N{_2}\\ M{_3N{_2}}+6H{_2}O\rightarrow 3M(OH){_2}+2NH{_3}

 

Mg_{3}N_{2}+6H_{2}O\rightarrow 3Mg\left ( OH \right )_{2}+2NH_{3}
                                               3 Moles              2 Moles
