What type of chemical reaction takes place when magnesium wire is heated?
When magnesium metal wire is heated in open air, an oxidation-reduction reaction takes place between the magnesium and the oxygen in the air. The magnesium is oxidized as the oxygen is reduced. The product of this reaction is magnesium oxide, MgO. Note that this reaction can also be deemed a combustion reaction, which is a specific type of redox reaction which involves the production of heat and sometimes light.
What happens when magnesium hydoxide is heated?
When heated to a sufficiently high temperature, solid magnesium hydroxide will decompose into magnesium oxide and water: Mg(OH)2 -> MgO + H2O.
What happens when sodium hydroxide is added to ammonium chloride and heated?
Ammonia gas will be evolved. The chemical reaction is :NH4Cl + NaOH --> NH3 (g) + NaCl + H2O
What is a chemical reaction that happens when a hot air balloon flies?
A chemical reaction in a hot air balloon can be when the propane is heated up. That is a chemical reaction because something has heated up.
What happens when Sodium Hydroxide is heated with Zinc?
it would speed the reaction. With enough heat and pressure you can cause an explosion
What gas or liquid is released when magnesium is heated?
When magnesium is heated, it undergoes a chemical reaction with oxygen in the air, resulting in the release of a gas called magnesium oxide (MgO).

Is heated plutonium a chemical reaction when heated?
A reaction of oxydation with the oxygen from air.

Ammonia gas will be evolved. The chemical reaction is :NH4Cl + NaOH --> NH3 (g) + NaCl + H2O

A chemical reaction in a hot air balloon can be when the propane is heated up. That is a chemical reaction because something has heated up.
What happens to the chemical reaction when it gets heated?
It may speed up when heated.
Is there evidence of a chemical reaction when bubbles form on heated water?
Yes there is a chemical reaction called 'Effervecense'.
How and why does the mass of a magnesium strip change when it is heated strongly in air?
When a magnesium strip is heated strongly in air, it undergoes a chemical reaction called oxidation. Magnesium reacts with oxygen in the air to form magnesium oxide. The mass of the strip increases because magnesium combines with oxygen atoms from the air to form a heavier compound (magnesium oxide).
What happens to substances when they are heated?
They do something, or have a chemical reaction
Does magnesium and lead 2 oxide react while heated?
The reaction is:Mg + PbO = MgO + Pb
What happens when Sodium Hydroxide is heated with Zinc?
it would speed the reaction. With enough heat and pressure you can cause an explosion
