Yes. You must be very careful with powdered magnesium as it is flammable and burns bright enough to damage your eyes.
the epsom salt of magnisium is used as theTalcum powder.
When you heat iron oxide powder with magnesium powder, a chemical reaction takes place where the magnesium reacts with the oxygen in the iron oxide to produce iron metal and magnesium oxide. This is a type of redox reaction where reduction and oxidation occur simultaneously.
magnesium look like white powder after burning in air. magnesium burns in air n react with atmospheric oxygen n forms magnesium oxide which is a white powder.
the white powder is magnesium oxide. Magnesium burns in air with a dazzling white light to produce magnesium oxide. the equation is- 2Mg + O2 = 2MgO
The white powder formed when magnesium reacts with steam is magnesium oxide.
For example the melting of this powder.
The chemical name for the white powder formed when magnesium reacts with oxygen is magnesium oxide (MgO).
You get a grey powder because magnesium is higher up in the reactivity series than Copper - (magnesium is more reactive than copper) therefore when you heat it up there is a displacement reaction. That grey powder is actully magnesium oxide and copper e.g Copper oxide + magnesium = magnesium oxide and copper.
Magnesium oxide is created when magnesium metal reacts with oxygen in the air. The white powder is the oxide compound formed as a result of this reaction.
When you burn magnesium, it forms magnesium oxide, which is a white powder. This reaction occurs when magnesium reacts with oxygen in the air, producing a bright white light and the white powdery magnesium oxide residue.
magnesium oxide
I suppose that you think to magnesium chloride.
