What colour does moist red litmus paper turn in magnesium oxide?
blue.
When magnesium is reacted with water why does it turn the litmus paper blue?
Red litmus paper turns blue in basic conditions. the reaction of magnesium with water produces Magnesium Oxide and Hydrogen. Magnesium Oxide (Mg(OH)2) dissolves in water to form an alkaline solution. (Alkalines are a type of base)
What is the common name for MgO?
Magnesium Oxide
What experiment shows that sulphur forms an acidic oxide?
S+O2 gives rise to SO2. This is dissolved in water and tested with litmus paper.Red litmus turns blue which means it is acidic
What does magnesium and copper oxide make?
Magnesium + copper oxide --> magnesium oxide + copper
What colour does moist red litmus paper turn in magnesium oxide?

Magnesium oxide ionic or molecular?
Magnesium oxide, or MgO, is an ionic compound: the result of a metal reacting with a non-metal.
What is the common name for MgO?
Magnesium Oxide
What happens when sulphur dioxide dissolved in water is tested by blue litmus paper?
Burnt Magnesium ribbon ----> MgO (magnesium oxide)(basic in nature) When added to water, it forms its hydroxide MgO+H2O ----> Mg(OH)2 (which is a base) when added to litmus paper or litmus solution....it will give a light blue colour
What compound is magnesium and oxygen make?
This compound is magnesium oxide - MgO.
What experiment shows that sulphur forms an acidic oxide?
S+O2 gives rise to SO2. This is dissolved in water and tested with litmus paper.Red litmus turns blue which means it is acidic
What type of oxide is magnesium oxide?
The answer is in the question. Magnesium is an element, so is oxygen, together they can form MgO, a compound, as compounds are multi atomic structures, like Iron Oxide, another rust just like MgO.
What does magnesium and copper oxide make?
Magnesium + copper oxide --> magnesium oxide + copper
What is the result when magnesium oxide reacts with water?
Magnesium Hydroxide forms. MgO + H2O = Mg(OH)2
What relationships are there between magnesium and magnesium oxide?
Magnesium is an element. Magnesium oxide is a compound formed from magnesium and oxygen. Magnesium oxide often serves as a magnesium supplement.
What atoms are in magnesium oxide?
Magnesium oxide contains magnesium and oxygen.
