When magnesium reacts with Hydrochloric acid what do you observe?

mg+Hcl----------->mgcl2 + H2 You could see bubble in the solution while reacting. After the reaction the reactant will just become a colourless solution


What two compounds make magnesium sulphate?

Many combinations of compounds could make magnesium sulfate:magnesium hydroxide and sulfuric acidmagnesium oxide and sulfuric acidmagnesium hydroxide and sulfur trioxideetc.


What happens when a acid and a base reacts?

It actually deepens on the acid if it's sulfuric acid then it could disintegrate


How could you show that magnesium reacts faster with acid than with water?

*when putting a piece of magnesium into dilute hydrocloric acid . *then hydrogen gas bubbles off. *this shows that magnesium react quickly in acid.


Name the element produced when magnesium and metal reacts with hydrochloric acid and how could you test for the presence of this element?

Mg HO + Cl


When magnesium combine with oxygen?

It makes a white light which you aren't aloud to look at because it will hurt your eyes.Above is correct. Magnesium and oxygen can burn explosively, producing a LOT of heat, intense light, and magnesium oxide.


Is magnesium nitride a solid or aqueous?

Magnesium Nitride is a greenish yellow powder at room temperature. So it's solid. I think you are a little confused on your terminology aqueous refers to something being dissolved in water. Magnesium Nitride reacts with water to produce ammonia gas. So Magnesium Nitride could never be an aqueous solution.


What happens if magnesium reacts with water?

Magnesium and water...Formula= magnesium + water --> magnesium hydroxide + hydrogenThe magnesium floats on the surface, this is a slow reaction but it much quicker with steam...Tiny bubbles of hydrogen form on the surface and gives off hydrogen gas. This is an alkali although the metal itself isn't.Magnesium and steam...Formula= magnesium + steam --> magnesium oxide + hydrogenThe magnesium reacts extremely quickly and bubbles form on the surface as it fizzes and pops it is a very vigorous reaction. But it eventually stops because the magnesium hydroxide formed is almost insoluble in water and forms a barrier on the magnesium preventing any further reaction.Mia StradlingMagnesium metals are not affected by water at room temperature. Magnesium generally is a slow-reacting element, but reactivity increases with oxygen levels. Furthermore, magnesium reacts with water vapor to magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas:Mg (s) + 2H2O(g) -> Mg(OH)2(aq) + H2(g)Mg0 - 2e -> Mg2+ reducer, oxidation2H+ + 2e -> H20 oxidant, reduction


Could you get sulfuric acid from a car battery?

Yes you could.


How could you show that magnesium reacts with acid faster with acid than with pure water and what would you see?

Metallic magnesium will cause rapid evolution of hydrogen gas when contacted with an acid in water solution, but will cause gas evolution much more slowly if at all when in contact with pure water.


Write a word equation for copper and magnesium?

It is either magnesium + sulfuric acid = magnesium sulfate + hydrogen or copper + sulfuric acid = copper sulfate + hydrogen the part that says some thing acid could be any acids.


What variable you observe?

Did you observe could be anyone. Please be specific.
