Does the presence of ice make magnesium burn hotter?

Yes, the presence of ice can make magnesium burn hotter because the reaction between magnesium and water releases hydrogen gas, which can ignite and increase the intensity of the burning.

Hydrogen gas is released when calcium and water react.


Does magnesium burn in the absence of oxygen?

Magnesium can burn in the absence of elemental oxygen, yes. This is because it is such a strong reducing agent that it can essentially steal oxygen from substances such as water and carbon dioxide.

Why does nitrogen burn magnesium?

Nitrogen does not burn magnesium. In order for magnesium to burn, it requires oxygen as the oxidizing agent. When magnesium reacts with oxygen in the air, it produces magnesium oxide and releases a considerable amount of heat and light.

Is this equation correct Magnesium Hydroxide heat up will give Magnesium Phosphate plus water?

No - phosphorous can not just appear.Heating magnesium hydroxide will give magnesium oxide and water.


Why would carbon dioxide not put out a magnesium fire?

This is because once the magnesium starts to burn, the uninhibited chemical reaction dominates the fire's need for oxygen (carbon dioxide usually puts fires out by displacing oxygen). The magnesium will continue to burn until there is nothing left to burn.


What white powder do you get when you burn magnesium?

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 sulfate is not flammable; by heating it is thermally decomposed.


What is the name of the white powder that is left when you burn magnesium?

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
