yes
Magnesium is more reactive than iron. Magnesium reacts more readily with oxygen and water to form compounds like magnesium oxide and magnesium hydroxide compared to iron.
In a short answer No. But I can't really explain why.
it's harder to make
No, as magnesium is more reactive, and would 'keep' the nitrate.
Sodium is more reactive than either magnesium or iron.
The long answer would factor in the commercial market for metals as commodities and the relative abundance of magnesium ore and iron ore in certain geographic areas. The short answer, and the one more relevant to chemistry, is that magnesium is higher on the reactivity series than iron, and thus is slightly harder to separate from its compounds.
Fe + MgSO4 --> FeSO4 + Mg Fe(iron)is more reactive than mg( magnesium) ........ therefore iron will displace magnesium....... hence it is a displacement reaction.............
gold is more expensive than iron simply because iron is more common and gold is also a purer metal
More iron and magnesium in magma can make it more dense and viscous. This can result in a thicker magma that is less likely to flow easily. It may also affect the melting temperature and can influence the type of volcanic eruptions that occur.
Zinc does not react with magnesium nitrate or iron chloride because zinc is less reactive than magnesium and iron. In a chemical reaction, a more reactive metal will displace a less reactive metal from its compound. Since zinc is lower in the reactivity series compared to magnesium and iron, it will not displace them from their salts.
One way to prove that magnesium is more reactive than zinc or iron is to observe their reaction with water or acids. Magnesium will react more vigorously with water or acids, producing more rapid and noticeable results compared to zinc or iron. Another method is to compare their placement in the reactivity series, where magnesium is positioned higher than zinc and iron, indicating higher reactivity.
Magnesium(s) + Iron(s) + HCl(aq) -> MagnesiumChloride(aq) + Hydrogen(g) + Iron(s)Iron will not react with hydrochloric acid as magnesium is more reactive than iron , so magnesium will react with hydrochloric acid to give salt and hydrogen gas while iron is deposited.METAL + ACID -> METAL SALT + HYDROGEN GAS
