If i mix Magnesium oxide and sulphuric acid?

You can react sulphuric acid with magnesium oxide.The reaction will look a little like this. sulphuric acid + magnesium oxide -> magnesium sulphate + water. However the salt dissolves into the liquid so u get a solution, a nd if u add universal indicator it will turn darkish blue for it is a alkaline.


What is the difference in mixing magnesium oxide with sulfuric acid than mixing magnesium carbonate with sulfuric acid?

Magnesium Oxide and Magnesium Carbonate are very different, Magnesium Oxide is Magnesium fused with Oxygen whereas Magnesium Carbonate is Magnesium fused with Carbon and Oxygen. The suffix "ate" means that an oxygen atom is involved. This added element (carbon) means that there will be a slight change in product. The chemical formula for Magnesium carbonate is MgCO3 whereas Magnesium oxide is MgO. See how there are two extra oxygens and one extra carbon? Add them together and you have CO2 and this is your difference. The difference in mixing magnesium oxide with sulfuric acid rather than mixing magnesium carbonate with sulfuric acid is that sulfuric acid and Magnesium carbonate create CO2 whereas Magnesium Oxide and sulfuric acid do not.


Is magneisium a metal after being burnt?

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.


How can you separate magnesium oxide into its elements?

Well, first you would heat magnesium in a crucible over a Bunsen burner, and this will cause the magnesium to react with both the oxygen and nitrogen in the air by the following equations: 2Mg(s) + O2(g) -> 2MgO(s) 3Mg(s) + O2(g) -> Mg3N2(s) Now you will want to purify the solution by getting rid of the MgN. To do that, you add water to the magnesium oxide and magnesium nitride and heat it, causing the water to react with the magnesium nitride by the following reaction: Mg3N2(s) + 6H2O(l) -> 2NH3(g) + 3Mg(OH)2(s) As you continue heating, the ammonia is driven off into the air, and the magnesium hydroxide decomposes by the following formula: Mg(OH)2(s) -> H2O(l) + MgO(s) Thus you are left with only MgO, because the during the heating the water is changed to gas and driven off as well. So all in all you added heat and water! Hope this helps!


Is iron oxide a element or compound?

Iron oxide is a compound, but I would add that a chemist would refer to it as either ferrous oxide or ferric oxide, depending upon the proportion of iron to oxygen.

What happens when magnisium is added to water?

Magnesium is the correct spell....Whatever, if you add Magnesium (Mg) to Water (H2o), it will form Magnesium Hydroxide. The following equation is:- Mg+O2+H2O=Mg(OH)2
