Can magnesium burn in carbon dioxide?
When magnesium burns in air it creates a very bright white flame. When magnesium and oxygen mix,(mixing a substance with oxygen is called oxydation)it creates a new substance called magnesium oxide, which is a white powder. 2Mg+O2-----> 2MgO Magnesium oxide is a compound.
Why does magnesium get heavier when its burned?
What happens when magnesium burns? What do you need for magnesium to burn? Will magnesium burn if you have it in a closed container? No. Why not? It needs air. Why does it need air? There is oxygen in the air. Magnesium needs oxygen to burn. So, when magnesium burns, you start with magnesium and end up with a compound that contains both magnesium and oxygen. Magnesium has an atomic weight of 24. Oxygen has an atomic weight of 16. So if you start out with 24 grams of Magnesium you should end up with 40 grams of Magnesium Oxide.
What are some of the chemical reactions of hydrogen?
The most common reaction of hydrogen is its combination with oxygen to form water.When hydrogen gas combines with carbon monoxide it forms water gas.Hydrogen and chlorine gas combine with each other in diffused sunlight to form hydrochloric acid.Hydrogen combines with nitrogen it forms ammonia. Metals like sodium,potassium and calcium react with cold water to form their respective hydroxides and hydrogen gas.For example sodium reacts with cold water to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. When metals like magnesium,zinc,aluminium and iron are heated to dull red and when steam is passed over them,they react to form their respective oxides and hydrogen gas.For example,magnesium reacts with steam when heated to form magnesium oxide and hydrogen gas.
What is the chemical propertie of fluorine?
Fluorine is a highly electronegative compound, and combines with numerous elements to form compounds with the fluorine in -I oxidation state.
What element combines with chlorine?
Calcium, sodium and hydrogen to name a few.
Is burn magnesium a chemical change?
It's a chemical change. The magnesium reacts and combines with the oxygen in the air.
A chemical reaction takes place in which magnesium combines with oxygen to form magnesium oxide. Which of the chemical equations matches the reaction above?
2Mg + O2 2MgO + Energy
What element combines with Magnesium when heated in a crucible?
oxygen...it forms magnesium oxide
When magnesium combines with oxygen what does the reaction involve?
Magnesium reacts violently with oxygen to make Magnesium Oxide
When a magnesium ribbon is burned and combines with molecular oxygen what does it become?
Magnesium Oxide. MgO
Is Magnesium a halogen that combines carbon compounds?
Magnesium is an alkaline earth metal, not a halogen.
Does magnesium react to oxeygen?
Yes. When magnesium burns in air, it combines with oxygen in the air to form magnesium oxide, MgO.
The bond formed when Magnesium combines with oxygen is?
ionic bond
What it tends to happen if sulfur combines with magnesium?
it will lose six electrons.
How and why does the mass of a magnesium strip change when it is heated strongly in air?
When a magnesium strip is heated strongly in air, it undergoes a chemical reaction called oxidation. Magnesium reacts with oxygen in the air to form magnesium oxide. The mass of the strip increases because magnesium combines with oxygen atoms from the air to form a heavier compound (magnesium oxide).
What can be made out of magnesium?
Magnesium combines with many non metals including oxygen and chlorine in order to form respective ionic salts.
When something combines with oxygen is it a physical or chemical property of sulfur?
Chemical
