What compound is magnesium and oxygen make?
This compound is magnesium oxide - MgO.
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.
Why does the reaction between magnesium and lead oxide get very hot?
Magnesium oxide is at a lower energy state than lead oxide, which makes it more stable, more likely to form. So this additional energy is released as heat.
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
Is magnesium oxide a base or alkali?
Magnesium oxide shows alkaline behavior.
What is the formula of of magnesium oxide?
== == MgO That would be Magnesium rust. It makes Magnesium off color and cloudy.
What is the common name for MgO?
Magnesium Oxide
What makes flint?
Flint is made from iron, iron oxide, and magnesium oxide.
What compound makes flint?
Flint is made from iron, iron oxide, and magnesium oxide.
What compound is magnesium and oxygen make?
This compound is magnesium oxide - MgO.
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.
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 are the two elements in magnesium oxide?
magnesium oxide is made up of two elements magnesium & oxygen..
What does magnesium and copper oxide make?
Magnesium + copper oxide --> magnesium oxide + copper
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 theproducts form when burning magnesium?
2Mg + O2 --> 2MgO When you burn something it reacts with O2, and Magnesium makes Magnesium oxide.
What atoms are in magnesium oxide?
Magnesium oxide contains magnesium and oxygen.
