When magnesium metal is burned in the presence of oxygen magnesium oxide are different than the individual properties of magnesium and oxygen because magnesium oxide is?
It is a compound.
What are the two elements in magnesium oxide?
magnesium oxide is made up of two elements magnesium & oxygen..
Magnesium carbonate which elements are found in magnesium carbonate?
Magnesium,carbon oxygen.
Is magnesium silicate the same as magnesium stearate?
No, Magnesium silicate is MgSiO3, an inorganic compound of magnesium, silicon, and oxygen. Magnesium stearate is Mg(C18H35O2)2, an organic compound of magnesium, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
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 is the correct name for magnesium and oxygen?
The compound formed by magnesium and oxygen is called magnesium oxide.
What are more likely to form an ionic bond a silicon and oxygen b oxygen and oxygen c carbon and hydrogen d magnesium and oxygen?
Magnesium and oxygen as in magnesium oxide
When magnesium combines with oxygen what does the reaction involve?
Magnesium reacts violently with oxygen to make Magnesium Oxide
What do magnesium and oxygen make?
If you heat magnesium and oxygen together then you will make MgO or Magnesium oxide.
Magnesium reacts with oxygen to form?
Magnesium reacts with oxygen to create magnesium oxide. Magnesium(Mg)+Oxygen(O2)--------> magnesium oxide(MgO) 2Mg+O2 ------>2 MgO
What compounds are formed when magnesium reacts with oxygen?
Magnesium reacts with oxygen to form magnesium oxide (MgO).
What does magnesium and oxygen equal?
Magnesium and Oxygen equals Magnesium Oxide (2MgO) 2Mg + O2 --> 2MgO
Is magnesium and oxygen elements compounds or mixtures?
magnesium and oxygen are elements. They are not compounds
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.
