1. A gas X is formed by heating ammonium nitrite.
X can also be obtained by heating barium azide.

Thermal decomposition of ammonium nitrite and barium azide gives nitrogen gas.
Therefore X = Nitrogen gas
2. Mg metal burns in X to form Y.

Magnesium reacts with nitrogen to give magnesium nitrite.
Y = Magnesium nitrite.
3. Y reacts with water to form a gas Z which turns red litmus blue.

Z is NH3 turns red litmus blue.
Therefore,
X = Nitrogen gas (N2)
Y=Magnesium nitrite. (Mg3N2)
Z=Ammonia (NH3)
