carbon is more reactive than magnesium
Magnesium bicarbonate contains magnesium, hydrogen, carbon and oxygen. The formula is Mg(HCO3)2
Magnesium will actually decompose when heated to form magnesium oxide and carbon dioxide. This is a common chemical reaction where magnesium reacts with oxygen from the air to form magnesium oxide, and if there is any carbon present, it can also react to form carbon dioxide.
I assume you mean MgCO3, not MgCo3 (the first is magnesium carbonate). Be careful when writing CO, because Co is cobalt, and CO is carbon and oxygen. Mg is Magnesium, C is carbon and O is oxygen. Therefore the elements present are magnesium, carbon and oxygen.
Magnesium is not soluble in carbon tetrachloride.
Magnesium,carbon oxygen.
The kind of magnesium present in Milk of Magnesia is magnesium hydroxide.
No, it becomes a compound. It burns in oxygen, nitrogen, and even in carbon dioxide. It becomes magnesium oxide or magnesium nitride. I should add that although the element magnesium is still present, it is not in its metallic form.
Magnesium burns in carbon dioxide because, when heated, the oxygen in the carbon dioxide is able to bond with magnesium and produce an oxide. Carbon, or soot is formed as a resulting by-product. 2Mg + CO2 ----> 2MgO + C
When carbon dioxide gas is blown into a solution of magnesium oxide, it will form magnesium carbonate as a product. This reaction involves the carbon dioxide reacting with the magnesium oxide to form the magnesium carbonate.
Magnesium hydroxide contains magnesium metal.
Nitrogen would extinguish the flame. Unlike most burning fuels, magnesium will continue to burn in carbon dioxide because its flame is hot enough to decompose carbon dioxide to carbon and oxygen.
