As calcium is more reactive than magnesium calcium will displace the magnesium and will become calcium nitrate and is left over with magnesium on it's own

Would calcium nitrate and magnesium react?

Calcium nitrate and magnesium will not react since calcium is more reactive than magnesium and so, magnesium does not displace calcium (See Reactivity Series). However, if Calcium nitrate is in aqueous solution (dissolved in water), some bubbles may be seen when Magnesium is added to it, since the Magnesium would be reacting with the water and producing hydrogen bubbles.


Why does magnesium ribbon not react with sodium sulphate solution?

as a displacement reaction has to occur when the metal is higher in the reactivity series thatn the metal in the salt. With your question this is not the case as sodium is higher than magnesium and so nothing will take effect.


Can magnesium displace lead from solution?

No it will not displace it since magnesium is higher than iron in the reactivity series :D


How does the metal magnesium differ from the metal calcium in their reaction with water?

Magnesium and calcium are both reactive metals, but magnesium reacts more vigorously with water compared to calcium. This is because magnesium has a higher reactivity due to its position in the periodic table, which allows it to displace hydrogen gas more easily from water. In contrast, calcium reacts more slowly with water, forming calcium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. Additionally, magnesium produces a brighter flame when burning in air compared to calcium due to its higher energy release during combustion.


What is the gas that reacts with calcium and magnesium when they burn?

Hydrogen gas is released when calcium and water react.

Do different types of magnesium react with calcium differently?

When you mean different type of magnesium, it can either be isotopes of magnesium or magnesium compounds. If you mean isotopes, i doubt any isotopes of magnesium is able to react with its calcium brethren. If you're talking bout magnesium compounds, reactivity between the metals depends on the electrochemical series, since magnesium is more electronegative, therefore i dont think calcium is able to displace magnesium from its compound. but magnesium is able to displace calcium from its compound.

Is calcium with magnesium better for you?

A mixed calcium and magnesium supplement (such as dolomite) is better than taking just calcium or just magnesium.

Hydrogen gas is released when calcium and water react.


Can magnesium displace aluminium?

No, magnesium cannot displace aluminum in a chemical reaction. Magnesium is less reactive than aluminum in terms of their positions in the reactivity series of metals. Therefore, when placed in a solution containing aluminum ions, magnesium will not replace aluminum from its compounds or solutions.


Would magnesium react with calcium nitrate?

no, it wouldn't calcium is above magnesium in the reactivity series which means that magnesium can't oxidize calcium. calcium can oxidize magnesium so calcium would react with magnesium nitrate with formation of metallic magnesium and calciumnitrate.


What 2 elements make water hard?

magnesium and calcium.


What is the reactivity series for copper and calcium and sodium and potassium and lithium?

The reactivity series from highest to lowest reactivity is: potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, aluminum, zinc, iron, lead, copper, silver, gold. In this series, copper is less reactive than calcium, sodium, potassium, and lithium. Copper will not displace these metals from their compounds in solution (e.g., copper will not displace calcium from calcium chloride).


Would calcium be more chemically similar to potassium or to magnesium?

Calcium is more chemically similar to magnesium than to potassium. Both calcium and magnesium are alkaline earth metals, while potassium is an alkali metal. This means that calcium and magnesium have similar chemical properties due to their position on the periodic table.
