In a compound of magnesium (Mg = 24) and nitrogen (N = 14), 18 g of magnesium combines with 7g of nitrogen. Deduce the simplest formula by answering the following questions.

(a) How many gram-atoms of magnesium are equal to 18g?

(b) How many gram-atoms of nitrogen are equal to 7g of nitrogen?

(c) Calculate simple ratio of gram-atoms of magnesium to gram-atoms of nitrogen and hence the simplest formula of the compound formed.
