When a metal burns the metal combines with oxygen from the air to form a chemical called a what?

oxide.


When metal burns it..........?

Typically when a metal 'burns', what is happening is that it is getting hot enough for it to react and form a bond with the oxygen in the atmosphere. This is almost identical to what happens when metal rusts, but on a much shorter time scales because of the higher energies involved. In other words, the metal is forming a chemical bond with the oxygen in the air.


What is the product formed when Oxygen burns in air?

Oxygen can not burn in air.


What is the word equation for when metal burns?

Metal + oxygen ----> Metal oxide So... 1) Magnesium + oxygen ----> Magnesium oxide 2) Lithium + oxygen -----> Lithium oxide So now try these if your unsure still : 1) Iron + oxygen ----> 2) Copper + oxygen ------> Hope I helped! :D


Which gas in the air burn's out the filament?

Oxygen is the gas in the air that burns out the filament in an incandescent light bulb. When the filament reacts with oxygen at high temperatures, it oxidizes and eventually burns out.


Why burning metal means having reaction with oxygen?

Heating a metal in air, which comprises of about 21% oxygen, using an open flame at sufficiently high temperature can possibly cause a reaction with oxygen. Sodium burns with a brilliant yellow light to form an ionic sodium oxide. Magnesium burns with a bright white light to form a MgO. Metals exhibit strong metallic bonding(electrostatic attraction between a lattice of positive ions and a sea of delocalised electrons) and therefore require high amounts of energy to break. By burning a metal using a normal flame, reaction with oxygen is more likely to occur than to melt the metal, i.e. the latent heat of fusion is too high.


What metal burns with a silver flame in air?

magnesium


Which gas in the air reacts with the wax as it burns?

oxygen


When a metal burns does it give off carbon dioxide?

When a metal burns, it typically reacts with oxygen in the air to form metal oxides, rather than carbon dioxide. However, if the metal is part of a compound that contains carbon, such as hydrocarbons or certain metal carbonates, burning it can produce carbon dioxide as a byproduct. In general, pure metals do not produce carbon dioxide when they burn.


What colorless gas burns with oxygen?

Hydrogen is a colorless gas that burns with oxygen. If substances will burn in air, those same substance will burn better in oxygen.


The substances in paraffin do not chage when a candle burns?

When a candle burns, the paraffin wax reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water vapor. The carbon atoms in the paraffin combine with oxygen from the air to produce heat, light, carbon dioxide, and water. This chemical reaction is why the substances in paraffin change when a candle burns.


When hydrogen burns in air it reacts with another element?

oxygen
