What metal burns readily underwater?
The metal that burns readily underwater is sodium. It can ignite easily underwater, and it can be incredibly difficult to extinguish.
What metal burns Red Orange?
barium chloride
Which element burns in air and nitrogen?
Titanium
What chemical change is it when Magnesium burns in air?
when magnesium burns in air a white powder called magnesium oxide is formed which is a new substance this is the chemical change
What is a discoloration of metal by exposure to air?
Oxidation is the usual cause of discoloration when an iron is exposed to air. The atoms on the surface of the metal react with Oxygen in air to produce a metal oxide.
What metal burns with a silver flame in air?
magnesium
When a metal burns does it combine with oxygen from the air?
yes it does and it forms an oxide.
What is formed when calcium metal burns in air?
Calcium oxide (CaO), and calcium nitride (Ca3N2)
Which metal burns in air but only react very slowly with water?
Copper burns and reacts in the air to form copper oxide, however i htink it reacts very slowly with water. Hope that helped ;)
What metal burns in air but only reacts slowly in water?
It depends what you mean by slowly! Calcium burns in air and reacts fairly quietly with water, certainly much more slowly than the alkali metals do.
What is the metal that burns more vigorously in air than iron?
Berylium because it has a higher reactivity rate.
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.
Magnesium burning in air is an example of this type of chemical change?
The magnesium burns readily in air to produce a white ash which is magnesium oxide. This is due to the "oxidation" of the metal.
What is the element which burns with white bright flame?
The element that burns brilliantly in the air is magnesium. Magnesium is an alkaline Earth metal with the atomic number 12.
What metal burns gold?
Aluminum
What metal burns readily underwater?
The metal that burns readily underwater is sodium. It can ignite easily underwater, and it can be incredibly difficult to extinguish.
What metal that burns with a white flame?
Magnesium
