Is magnesium ribbon burns an endothermic reaction or an exothermic reaction?

The reaction is highly exothermic as heat energy is released from the system to the surroundings whereas in endothermic the heat is absorbed from the surroundings into the system and you can also observe or see the smoke coming out of the apparatus in which the reaction is occurring or taking place.Heat energy is being released in the form of smoke.Therefore the reaction is exothermic.

∙ 12y agoAnything that is burning is exothermic because it is producing heat. Exothermic means that the reaction is producing heat, while endothermic means that a reaction requires heat to make the reaction move forward.

What is the balanced reaction when you place a small strip of magnesium ribbon into a flame?
2 Mg (s) + O2 (g) ----> 2MgO (s)
Is burning a strip of magnesium ribbon a chemical or physical change?
This is a chemical change. The reaction is: Mg + O ---> MgO
Is a magnesium ribbon a conductor?
Magnesium is a metal element. It has free electrons. So it is a good conductor.
What would you see if a piece of magnesium ribbon reacts with dilute hydrocholric acid?
You would see bubbles (effervescence) of Hydrogen gas being given off as the reaction happens.Magnesium + Hydrochloric acid ------> Magnesium Chloride + HydrogenMetal + acid ------> Metal Salt + Hydrogen
Why should you not look at magnesium ribbon when it burns?
When magnesium burns in air the intense light produced contains consider ultraviolet that can permanently damange the eye's retina. Please see the link.
Sulfuric acid and magnesium ribbon endothermic or exothermic?
I don't know for sure, but it is probably exothermic. (PLEASE CORRECT ME!)
Why does magnesium ribbon increase the temperature of hydrochloric acid?
The reaction is exothermic
What is the reaction of iron nail when in contact with magnesium ribbon?
wrgwrg3wrgwr23 wrgwrg3wrgwr23
Is magnesium metal and magnesium ribbon the same?
Yes. Magnesium ribbon is magnesium metal in the shape of a ribbon.
Why is the burning of magnesium ribbon a synthesis reaction?
When you burn magnesium, you are taking two elements, magnesium and oxygen, and combining them to form a compound, magnesium oxide. That is synthesis.
What is the type of reaction for Mg ribbon burning in fire?
Magnesium is converted into Magnesium oxide. 2Mg + O2 -----> 2MgO
What type of reaction takes place when a magnesium ribbon is burnt in air?
Rapid oxidization.
Why magnesium powder reacts more rapidly than magnesium ribbon with hydrochloric acid?
There is far more total surface area available for the reaction to occur on than just the ribbon.
Is magnesium ribbon a compound?
No. Magnesium ribbon is nearly pure magnesium, which is an element.
Color of magnesium ribbon?
Magnesium ribbon is silver colored.
What is the reaction mechanism for magnesium ribbon and water?
The reaction mechanism for magnesium ribbon and water involves the formation of magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. Initially, the magnesium ribbon reacts with water, breaking the hydrogen-oxygen bonds in water molecules. This results in the release of hydrogen gas and the formation of magnesium hydroxide, which is a white precipitate. The reaction is typically exothermic and can be represented by the balanced chemical equation: 2 Mg(s) + 2 H2O(l) → 2 Mg(OH)2(aq) + H2(g)
Would the rate of reaction increase if you folded magnesium ribbon?
it would speed up the reaction xx hope i ve helpd you
