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

Calcium reacts more easily with water than does magnesium, because calcium donates electrons to other elements more readily than magnesium, as expected for a larger atom in the same periodic table column on the left side of a wide form Periodic Table.

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.
Is magnesium and hydrochloric acid an acid-base reaction?
No, it is a single displacement reaction. It can also be called a redox reaction. It is not an acid base reaction because although hydrochloric acid is obviously and acid, magnesium is a metal, not a base.
If calcium metal is exposed to chlorine gas a reaction occurs What will be the products of this reaction?
CaCl2
Predict the most likely products from the reaction between calcium carbonate and sodium metal?
no reaction
If you melt magnesium metal is it a chemical change?
Yes, the combustion of magnesium, or anything else for that matter, represents a chemical change. For magnesium, the combustion reaction results in the loss of magnesium and the production of magnesium oxide. Clearly a chemical change.
Is magnesium is a chemical reaction?
Magnesium is a chemical element, a solid metal not a reaction.
In the reaction between magnesium and sulphuric acid name a metal?
Magnesium is the metal. Sulfuric acid is a compound.
What is an example of reductionism?
The reaction between magnesium oxide and carbon at 2000C to form magnesium metal and carbon monoxide is an example of the reduction of magnesium oxide to magnesium metal.
Name a metal in solid form?
magnesium,aluminum,zinc,calcium

What effect does changing the concentration on acid have in a chemical reaction invlving a metal such as magnesium?
Increasing the concentration of an acid would increase the rate and vigor of the reaction involving a metal such as magnesium.
Which alkaline earth metal is part of the reaction of photosynthesis?
Magnesium is the alkaline earth metal that is part of the reaction process of photosynthesis.
Does calcium has the same number of electrons in its outer shell as magnesium metal?
forgot
Which metal is extracted from dolomite?
Dolomite's chemical name is calcium magnesium carbonate [CaMg(CO3)2]. Magnesium is extracted from it.
Magnesium metal can be formed when magnesium chloride reacts with lithium What is true about this reaction?
MgCl2 and Li are the reactants.
What alkaline earth metal is part of the reaction process of photosynthesis?
Magnesium is the alkaline earth metal that is part of the reaction process of photosynthesis.
Which alkaline earth metal is part of the reaction process of photosynthesis?
Magnesium is the alkaline earth metal that is part of the reaction process of photosynthesis.
