What is the result when magnesium oxide is tested with red litmus paper?
fire
When magnesium is reacted with water why does it turn the litmus paper blue?
Red litmus paper turns blue in basic conditions. the reaction of magnesium with water produces Magnesium Oxide and Hydrogen. Magnesium Oxide (Mg(OH)2) dissolves in water to form an alkaline solution. (Alkalines are a type of base)
What is the common name for MgO?
Magnesium Oxide
What does magnesium and copper oxide make?
Magnesium + copper oxide --> magnesium oxide + copper
State two observations that can be made from burning magnesium?
It can be observed that magnesium burns in air with a dazzling white flame. A white powder known as magnesium oxide is produced. Magnesium burns in oxygen present in the air to produce magnesium oxide.
What is the result when magnesium oxide is tested with red litmus paper?
fire
What happens when sulphur dioxide dissolved in water is tested by blue litmus paper?
Burnt Magnesium ribbon ----> MgO (magnesium oxide)(basic in nature) When added to water, it forms its hydroxide MgO+H2O ----> Mg(OH)2 (which is a base) when added to litmus paper or litmus solution....it will give a light blue colour

Why is magnesium oxide white?
magnesium is a purply substance. Although when this substance is burned with oxygen it becomes Magnesium Oxide. This chemical then turns into a black liquidy colour. The word equation for this experiment is: magnesium + Oxygen = Magnesium Oxide
What is the common name for MgO?
Magnesium Oxide
What compound is magnesium and oxygen make?
This compound is magnesium oxide - MgO.
What does magnesium and copper oxide make?
Magnesium + copper oxide --> magnesium oxide + copper

What relationships are there between magnesium and magnesium oxide?
Magnesium is an element. Magnesium oxide is a compound formed from magnesium and oxygen. Magnesium oxide often serves as a magnesium supplement.
What atoms are in magnesium oxide?
Magnesium oxide contains magnesium and oxygen.
What is the difference between magnesium oxide and magnesium?
The difference is magnesium oxide contains oxide ions ,whereas aluminium oxide doesn't.
How do you know that magnesium is the more metallic element in the compound magnesium oxide MgO?
Magnesium is an element, a metal. It is silvery grey in colour and has lustre.whereas Magnesium Oxide is a compound made from reaction of magnesium and oxygen. It is a powdery substance and is white in colour
