How flammable is magnesium?
Magnesium is extremely flammable. It will react even with water!!!!!!
If magma has high silica what will a volcano probably do?
high silica eruptions are generally explosive, giving rise to large abbounts of dust and may even result in pyroclastic flows. This happens because high silica melts are more viscous (thick) than low silica melts. If you see a nice river or fountain of lava, you can bet that it is relatively low in silica, probably a basalt.
What the atmospheric of mercury?
Mercury has no significant atmosphere.
What the same about silica rich and silica poor magma?
Silica is a natural element found within the Earth's crust. There are several different types of it. Silica gets inside magma when a volcano forms. During the formation, the magma from deep inside the Earth pushes its way up to the surface. As it progresses upward, it passes through the continental crust, or layer of crust below Earth's continents. Silica is abundant in that area. While the magma is in the continental crust, even if only for a little while, it mixes with the silica. Some parts of the continental crust aren't quite as plentiful in silica as others. Depending on the amount of silica mixed with the magma, the magma can become 'silica-rich', or have sufficient amounts of silica. This lavish amount of silica in the magma makes the magma thick and pasty. Then, when the volcano goes to erupt, the magma gets stuck in the caldera, or crater hole in the top of the volcano, because of its thickness. Pressure builds up behind the plugged exit, as more gas and magma yearns to escape. Eventually, this pressure builds up SO much that the magma cork gives way, allowing all the gases and lava to burst out of the volcano in a GIGANTIC eruption. This is why an explosive eruption has so much smoke, from the gas build-up inside of the volcano. Quiet eruptions don't because there is no gas pressure to stop the thin magma from leaking out of the hot spot/volcano. In conclusion, silica creates a thick magma. This results in a plugged caldera. Gas pressure within the volcano then builds up because of the thick magma cork. When the cork gives way, a HUGE eruption results, releasing all the gases and smoke. Hope that this explanation helped!
What happens to the mass of magnesium ribbon after heating?
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 would you classify a rock that has even amount of silica iron and magnesium?

What are the elements present on the earth surfaces?
Even though there are 92 elements that are naturally found, only eight of them are common in the rocks that make up the Earth's outer layer. These include oxygen, silica, aluminum, iron, calcium, sodium, potassium, and magnesium.
How much silica does a composite volcano have?
The silica content will vary from one volcano to the next and will even vary over time for a single volcano. On average, though, composite volcanoes erupt intermediate rocks that are 52-63% silica.

Why does nitrogen burn magnesium?
While nitrogen is usually fairly inert, magnesium is so reactive that even nitrogen can react with it.
What the atmospheric of mercury?
Mercury has no significant atmosphere.
Suggest one other metal that would burn even more fiercely than magnesium?
l love science its magnesium
Formula of magnesium ribbon?
Science Sucks!!!!!!!! i know and im Liz i have to do a project due 2morrow and i havent even started
How is Silicon extracted from Sand?
ndustrially, silica is converted to pure silicon by heating it with coke (the form of coal, not the drink) in a furnace. But there's an even easier, if less cost-effective, method that I learned from Jason Stainer, a science teacher in England. All you have to do is heat a mixture of common silica sand and magnesium powder in a test tube. The magnesium steals the oxygen atoms from the silica, leaving elemental silicon. No reaction is perfect, and in this case you're left with a mixture of magnesium, magnesium oxide, magnesium silicide and silicon in the bottom of the test tube. Fortunately, the best way to purify it is also the most entertaining. I told my eight-year-old Harry Potter fan that I had prepared a fire potion. First pour one cup of what is sold in any hardware store as muriatic acid (37% HCl) into five cups of water. (Not the other way around. The old chemist's saying "Do as you oughta, add acid to watta" is there to protect you from steam explosions that can occur if water is poured into acid instead of acid into water.) Then dump in the contents of the test tube, and you'll get a wonderful frothing mass of flaming bubbles and a lovely mushroom cloud of smoke. This is one of the best can't-fail fire potions. (
What happens when you put magnesium with sulfuric acid?
You would get a very energetic (or even explosive) reaction which would produce magnesium sulphate and hydrogen gas.
Is Magnesium carbonate organic?
No, carbonates are not organic even though they contain carbon.
