The compound MgO magnesium has an oxidation number of?
2 apex
What happens to the magnesium when it forms magnesium oxide?
This is an oxidation reaction; magnesium burn in oxygen.
Oxidation number of MgO?
0 in the elemental form +2 in its compounds
Why does the mass of magnesium increase when you burn it in air?
It increases because the mass of the magnesium adds to the mass of the oxygen. Also, the magnesium expands and magnesium oxide is formed. The oxidation reaction is: Mg + O2 = 2 MgO
What is the simple oxidation number for magnesium?
Magnesium is in the group 2. 0 is the lowest oxidation number for it.
In the compound MgO magnesium has an oxidation number of .?
+2
The compound MgO magnesium has an oxidation number of?
2 apex
In the compound mgo magnesium has an oxidation number of blank?
+2 for Mg -2 for O
What happens to the magnesium when it forms magnesium oxide?
This is an oxidation reaction; magnesium burn in oxygen.
Oxidation number of MgO?
0 in the elemental form +2 in its compounds
Is burning magnesium an oxidation-reduction reaction?
You cannot 'burn' MgO, it is refactory. I take it you mean burning Magnesium metal in oxygen - if so the answer is that the magnesium is oxidised to MgO and the oxygen is reduced - all reduction/oxidation ('redox') reactions are coupled - if something is oxidised the other is reduced.
Why MgO is not attacked by atmospheric oxygen?
Because in MgO magnesium is already in its highest oxidation state and cannot be oxidized further.
What is the chemical formula for magnesium dioxide?
The oxidation of magnesium is a process, and as such has a chemical equation rather than a formula: 2 Mg + O2 -> 2 MgO. MgO is the chemical formula for the oxide of magnesium.
What is the oxidation state of magnesium in MgO?
Oxidation state: +2
Why does the mass of magnesium increase when you burn it in air?
It increases because the mass of the magnesium adds to the mass of the oxygen. Also, the magnesium expands and magnesium oxide is formed. The oxidation reaction is: Mg + O2 = 2 MgO
What is the simple oxidation number for magnesium?
Magnesium is in the group 2. 0 is the lowest oxidation number for it.
What compound is magnesium and oxygen make?
This compound is magnesium oxide - MgO.
