Nitrogen
Chemical reactions
Reaction of nitrogen with airNitrogen gas does not react with air under normal conditions. If electric sparks are used, NO and NO2 is formed.
Reaction of nitrogen with acidsNitrogen gas do not react with acids under normal conditions.
Reaction of nitrogen with basesNitrogen gas do not react with bases under normal conditions.
Reaction of nitrogen with halogensNitrogen gas do not react with halogens under normal conditions.
Reaction of nitrogen with hydrogenNitrogen can be brought to react with hydrogen. This is called the Haber process [4]
N2(g) + 3 H2(g) 400-500 °C 2 NH3(g)Fe catalyst  High pressure Reaction of nitrogen with metals/metal ionsWhen ingited, Ca reacts with nitrogen forming calcium nitride, Ca3N2.
3 Ca(s) + N2(g)  Ca3N2(s)When ingited, Mg reacts with nitrogen forming magnesium nitride, Mg3N2. 3 Mg(s) + N2(g) Mg3N2(s)Reaction of nitrogen with waterNitrogen gas does not react with water. It does, however, dissolve; 14 g/l at 20 °C and 1 atmosphere pressure.
