What can you make with magnesium?
The indicators of the Bugatti Veyron car have magnesium in them but other than that I don't really know.
Can magnesium catch fire in cold water?
No, magnesium cannot catch fire in cold water. It reacts only slowly. And only briefly, too, as a film of magnesium hydroxide forms creating a barrier to further reaction.
Why does the iron rusts when magnesium is put in the water with the iron?

Why does spraying water on fire take it out?
The fire triangle is fuel (something that will burn), oxygen and heat. If you take away any of the three the fire will go out. Water reduces the temperature and causes the fire to die out. A note here: Water is used on class "A" fires only. A class "A" fire is anything that will leave an ash when burned such as paper, wood or cloth. If you were to try to use water on a class "B" fire (a liquid fuel fire) the water will cause the liquid to spread out rather than cool it and make the fire worse. A class"C" fire is anything electrical and while water may put the fire out you run the risk of electrocution if you use water. There is also a class "D" type of fire that includes metals such as magnesium that will burn. If you put water on burning magnesium such as an airplane wheel the magnesium may explode.
Why we don't use Co2 as a fire extinguisher in magnesium factory?
Burning magnesium reacts with co2. As a result white powders of magnesium oxide is produced along with black particle of carbon. 2Mg+Co2=2MgO+C.
Is magnesium dangerous?
Magnesium is flammable. It burns very hot and bright and cannot be put out with water or a normal fire extinguisher.
Why does burning magnesium explode when extinguished with water?
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM !@##@$then he says
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 would happen if you lit 1 cup of magnesium powder on fire?
upon lighting 1 cup of magnesium powder the combustion of the two would be so strong that you could light yourself on fire. In a controlled environment the magnesium would continue to burn until it has been starved of oxygen. i.e. if you put a lid on it the fire would burn up any oxygen in the container and the magnesium will dissipate.
Can the metal Magnesium easily react with water at room temperature?
Magnesium does react with water at room temperature. It does however not catch fire as such. It is a "slow" reaction and does not self-ignite. It forms Magnesium Oxide and Hydrogen when it reacts with water. Larger (not that large) quantities of Magnesium on fire will not be put out by being submerged in water. Water can however put it out if one sprays it with water at high enough force. This will cool down the metal and it will not longer be able to sustain the fire. It will burn in an atmosphere of pure nitrogen unlike almost any other fires. Easiest way to put out a Magnesium fire is to cover it with sand or salt.
What material makes the hottest fire?
magnesium
What do you get when magnesium reacts with oxygen and fire?
White powdery magnesium oxide and a white hot flame.
When magnesium burns it would be classified as what type of fire?
Class d fire
What can you make with magnesium?
The indicators of the Bugatti Veyron car have magnesium in them but other than that I don't really know.
What happens if you set fire to a magnesium ribbon?
when magnesium ribbon is lit on fire it will produce a very bright light that is bad for your eyes and will emit a toxic gas
What is use of magnesium hydroxide?
explain what is meant by the suspension of magnesium hydroxide
Why is magnesium not used to make cars?
Because it carn't Because Magnesium can catch fire at a low temperature
