2. beryllium oxide. Each oxide contains as many oxygen atoms as alkaline earth metal atoms, and beryllium has the smallest atomic weight of the alkaline earth metals. Therefore, beryllium oxygen has the greatest percentage by weight of oxygen.

When should you take magnesium supplements?

Magnesium is a mineral so it shouldn't be taken on an empty stomach. That said, each product is designed differently. Some 'once a day/all in one' products don't really have the greatest source of magnesium or it's in the wrong form, so I take a stand alone magnesium product at the same time I take my calcium.

When magnesium burns air what substance is formed?

When magnesium ribbon is burnt in air, magnesium oxide is the main product. Equation 1 Eqn 1. 2Mg + O2 -----> 2MgO However, as there are traces of moisture in the air, a small amount gets converted to magnesium hydroxide Equation 2. Eqn 2. MgO + H2O -----> Mg(OH)2 And finally, because of the high temperatures involved the magnesium can also react with the nitrogen in the air to form traces of magnesium nitride equation 3. Eqn 3. 3Mg + N2 -----> Mg3N2 To reiterate, magnesium oxide is by far the greatest product.


What is a salinity gradient map?

Just breaking down the words, here's a reasonable guess. Salinity is having salts. Gradient is different amounts. A map would show you where. So I guess you are looking at where the greatest amount of salts are concentrated and where there are less or even which salts are where, if there is more than one kind available. Remember sodium chloride (table salt) is not the only salt; there is magnesium salts such as Epsom salts and many other alkaline metal salts I can't name. I don't remember my high school chemistry that well.


What is the best soil for cabbage?
