When you heat copper oxide and magnesium why do you get grey powder?

You get a grey powder because magnesium is higher up in the reactivity series than Copper - (magnesium is more reactive than copper) therefore when you heat it up there is a displacement reaction. That grey powder is actully magnesium oxide and copper e.g Copper oxide + magnesium = magnesium oxide and copper.

What is the black residue left over after a magnesium combustion reaction?

on burning Magnesium reacts with oxygen and forms magnesium oxide it left as a white powder.


What is the name of the white powder that is left when you burn magnesium?

the white powder is magnesium oxide. Magnesium burns in air with a dazzling white light to produce magnesium oxide. the equation is- 2Mg + O2 = 2MgO


What is an example of reductionism?

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.


What is that mysterious white powder?

magnesium oxide


If you burn magnesium in oxygen what do you get?

The magnesuim melts and the reaction of it is it produces a bright light ! then when it has cooled down the magnesuim turns into magnesuim oxide because the magnesuim and oxygen attach together because the particles mix together to make magesuim oxide! :)
