It depends how hot your water is. With steam you get the oxide (Mg + H2O --> MgO + H2) with liquid water you get the hydroxide (Mg + 2H2O --> Mg(OH)2 + H2)

What happens to magnesium oxide when its heated strongly?
When magnesium oxide is heated strongly, it undergoes a process called thermal decomposition. This means that it breaks down into its constituent elements, magnesium metal and oxygen gas. The reaction can be represented by the following equation: 2MgO(s) -> 2Mg(s) + O2(g).
What element combines with Magnesium when heated in a crucible?
oxygen...it forms magnesium oxide
What happens to the mass of magnesium when heated?
it will decrease
What gas or liquid is released when magnesium is heated?
When magnesium is heated, it undergoes a chemical reaction with oxygen in the air, resulting in the release of a gas called magnesium oxide (MgO).
If 13.0g of MgSO47H2O is thoroughly heated what mass of anhydrous magnesium sulfate will remain?
8.79 grams of magnesium sulfate will remain.
What is the balanced chemical equation for when lead 2 oxide is heated with magnesium?
This equation is Mg + PbO -> MgO + Pb.
What is the chemical name for heated magnesium?
That would be Magnesium Oxide (since a single element cannot decompose) which decomposes into Magnesium and Oxygen. Magnesium Oxide --> Magnesium + Oxygen or the balanced chem. equation: 2MgO --> 2Mg + 02
Write a chemical equation that shows what happens to magnesium carbonate when it is heated?
MgCO3 --(heat)--->MgO+CO2
What happens to the mass when magnesium is heated in air?
When magnesium is heated in air, it forms magnesium oxide and so the total mass increases.
What happens to magnesium oxide when its heated strongly?
When magnesium oxide is heated strongly, it undergoes a process called thermal decomposition. This means that it breaks down into its constituent elements, magnesium metal and oxygen gas. The reaction can be represented by the following equation: 2MgO(s) -> 2Mg(s) + O2(g).
What happens when magnesium hydoxide is heated?
When heated to a sufficiently high temperature, solid magnesium hydroxide will decompose into magnesium oxide and water: Mg(OH)2 -> MgO + H2O.
What happens when you magnesium is heated in air?
Magnesium's mass increases as it becomes magnesium oxide.
What is formed when magnesium is heated?
The solid formed is magnesium oxide.The gas formed is carbon dioxide.
What element combines with Magnesium when heated in a crucible?
oxygen...it forms magnesium oxide
When magnesium and sulphur are heated together they react what is the name of the compound which is formed when magnesium reacts with sulphur?
magnesium sulphide (MgS)
What happens to the mass of magnesium when heated?
it will decrease
What gas or liquid is released when magnesium is heated?
When magnesium is heated, it undergoes a chemical reaction with oxygen in the air, resulting in the release of a gas called magnesium oxide (MgO).
