Why sodium is burnt in air?
Sodium does not react easily with oxygen at a room temperature so it has to be heated up a little for the reaction to start. Since air is mostly oxygen once the reaction starts it gets pretty violent and the piece of sodium explode.
What happens when coke is burnt in oxygen?
it emits extreme heat
What reaction is it when magnesium is burnt in air?
Magnesium plus oxygen becomes magnesium oxide.
Explain the reaction when magnesium metal is burnt using the Big Idea of Energy?
The reaction of magnesium and oxygen happens with the help of heat enery. There are two magnesium particles and two oxygen particles these then join together to create two magnesium oxide compounds.
When hydrogen burnt does it produce water?
YES!!! Providing it is combusted in oxygen(air( The reaction equation is 2H2(g)+ O2(g) = 2H2O(l)

What happens if burnt sodium is exposed to oxygen?
Sodium and Lithium react so rapidly with air and water, that they must be contained under oil. Sodium burns rapidly in air, releasing heat and light energy. If you explore around YouTube for videos of this reaction, some may explode. This is the light and heat energy being given off. Equation: 4Na + O2 --> 2Na2O
Where does electron goes when sodium is burnt in Bunsen burner?
Goes to the oxygen.
What happens when coke is burnt in oxygen?
it emits extreme heat

What is the word equation for the reaction which occurs when iron is burnt?
Iron reacts with oxygen to produce iron oxide.
What happens to a match to make it go black?
a chemical reaction (combustion reaction) the heat from the friction of the sand paper lights the match. the flame burns the chemicals and the oxygen in the air. whatever isn't burnt is left on the matchstick. this is mainly carbon (i think) whick is the black stuuf =]
When hydrogen burnt does it produce water?
YES!!! Providing it is combusted in oxygen(air( The reaction equation is 2H2(g)+ O2(g) = 2H2O(l)
What happens to the hydrogen atoms in methane when it is burnt in plenty of oxygen?
it burns and seperates actually it burns and oxygen burns it , methane is the gas that we mostly use in southern countries for cooking
Is burnt wood a chemical reaction?
yes, it is a chemical reaction
Is Na2O CO2 - Na2CO3 a combination reaction?
Carbon dioxide and sodium oxide can combine to form sodium carbonate (Na2CO3).
