When magnesium is heated it reacts with oxygen in the air to for Magnesium oxide (MgO) 2Mg + O2 = 2MgO Magnesium oxide is white, so when it is heated, it produces a bright white light.


How and why does the mass of a magnesium strip change when it is heated strongly in air?

When a magnesium strip is heated strongly in air, it undergoes a chemical reaction called oxidation. Magnesium reacts with oxygen in the air to form magnesium oxide. The mass of the strip increases because magnesium combines with oxygen atoms from the air to form a heavier compound (magnesium oxide).


What happens when magnesium reacts with steam?

Magnesium burns brightly when heated in steam to form magnesium oxide and hydrogen. Mg(s) + H2O(g) --> MgO(s) + H2(g)
