If Mg reacts with O the compound is MgO?
The reaction is between Mg and O2. 2Mg+O2->2MgO
What is the chemical equation when magnesium burns?
The magnesium is burned and reacts with the oxygen in the air. 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO Magnesium + Oxygen gas → Magnesium oxide
What product is formed on burning magnesium ribbon?
The product of the magnesium burning is magnesium oxide (MgO).
What is the mass of magnesium oxide when you burn 4 grams of magnesium?
Mg grams -> (use Mg's molar mass) -> Mg moles -> (use ratio of moles - use balanced equation) -> MgO moles -> (use MgO's molar mass) -> grams MgO set up the equation: Mg + O2 --> MgO (we know the product is MgO and not MgO2 because magnesium has a charge of 2+ while oxygen has a charge or 2-) balance the equation: 2Mg + O2 --> 2MgO Molar mass of Mg: 24.31 g/mol Molar mass of MgO: 44.30 g/mol (add the molar mass of Magnesium - 24.31g/mol and the molar mass of Oxygen - 15.99g/mol together) (use periodic table to find these) 7.0 grams of Mg To find the moles of Magnesium you use the molar mass of Mg. (7.0 g Mg)*(1 mol Mg / 24.31 g Mg) =0.2879 moles Mg notice how the grams cancel to leave you with moles - remember dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal Now use the balanced equation's coefficients and the moles of Mg to determine the number of moles of MgO present. 2Mg + O2 --> 2MgO 2 moles Mg : 2 moles MgO -> divide both sides by 2 and it obviously becomes a 'one to one' ratio. This means that the number of moles of Mg is equal to the number of moles of MgO. This means that there are 0.2879 moles of MgO. Now that we know MgO's molar mass and the number of moles of MgO we have, the grams of MgO produced can be determined. (0.2879 moles MgO)*(44.30 g MgO / 1 mol MgO) = 12.75 grams MgO
What compound is formed by magnesium and oxygen?
Magnesium oxide, MgO (base). It is a form of rust.
What is the balanced equation for magnesium with molecular oxygen?
2Mg + O2 --------> 2MgO
If Mg reacts with O the compound is MgO?
The reaction is between Mg and O2. 2Mg+O2->2MgO
The chemical formula of the product formed from the reaction between Mg and O2 is?
This compound is the magnesium oxide, MgO.
Magnesium and oxygen formula?
The chemical formula of magnesium oxide is MgO.
What is the new substance when magnesium is burned?
Assuming Oxygen is the oxidizing element: 2Mg + O2 -> 2MgO + energy So your answer is MgO or Magnesium oxide or Magnesia
Write a balanced symbol equation for the reaction between magnesium and oxygen to form magnesium oxide?
I'm not entirely sure but an unbalanced equation is: Mg + O2 -----> MgO
What is a balanced chemical equation for magnesium oxide?
Magnesium + oxygen --> magnesium oxide 2Mg (s) + O2 (g) --> 2MgO (s)
Balance the equation mg no3 2 forms mgo plus no2 plus o2?
Balanced Equation: 2Mg(NO3)2 = 2MgO + 4NO2 + O2
