Why is water added to The Crucible in order to complete the conversion to magnesium oxide?

Water is added to the crucible to convert magnesium (Mg) to magnesium oxide (Mg(OH)2) because when magnesium reactions with air, it also reacts with the nitrogen (N2) in the air to form magnesium nitride (Mg3N2).3 Mg + N2 --> Mg3N2By adding water to the crucible containing the magnesium nitride, the magnesium nitride will become magnesium hydroxide. The ammonia gas produced will rise out of the crucible, eliminating the nitrogen.Mg3N2 + H2O --> 3Mg(OH)2 + 2NH3After heating the magnesium hydroxide, the product becomes just magnesium oxide.3Mg(OH)2 + heat --> MgO + H2OIn other words, when water is added, the nitrogen will react with the water, causing it to form ammonia and thus evaporating from the substance. This leaves behind the magnesium hydroxide, which becomes magnesium oxide and water after it is heated.


Why is 2 Mg O2 equals 2 MgO is not a combustion reaction?

The reaction 2 Mg + O2 -> 2 MgO is indeed a combustion reaction, where magnesium (Mg) reacts with oxygen (O2) to produce magnesium oxide (MgO). Combustion reactions are characterized by rapid reactions with oxygen, resulting in the release of energy in the form of heat and light. In this case, magnesium undergoes combustion to form magnesium oxide.

Is Mg burned in air chemical or physical?

Burning Mg in air is a chemical change. When magnesium reacts with oxygen in the air, it forms magnesium oxide. This is a chemical reaction that results in the formation of a new substance with different properties than the original magnesium.
