    Since the question has some errors, I copy it with the corrections:

    If 7.81 g of Mg undergoes the following reaction what is the % yield, if 6.76 g of magnesium nitride is produced?

    3 Mg (s) + N₂ (g) → Mg₃N₂ (s).

    Answer:

    62.6 %

    Explanation:

    1) Mole ratios:

    The coefficients on the balanced chemical equation give the mole ratios:

    3 mol Mg (s) : 2 mol N₂ (g) : Mg₃N₂

    2) Theoretical yield:

    Number of moles of Mg that react, n:

    n = mass in grams / molar mass = 7.81 g / 24.305 g/mol = 0.321 mol

    Number of moles of magnesium nitride that can be produced

    Proportion: 3 mol Mg / 1 mol Mg₃N₂ = 0.321 mol Mg / x

    ⇒ x = 0.321 mol Mg * 1 mol Mg₃N₂ / 3 mol Mg = 0.107 mol Mg₃N₂

    mass = molar mass * number of moles = 100.9494 g/mol * 0.107 mol = 10.80 g

    3) Percent yield, %

    % = (actual yield / theoretical yield) * 100 = (6.76 g / 10.80 g) * 100 = 62.6%
