yes. during the ignition of the magnesium ribbon, if expose in a nitrogenous atmosphere it could result to a substance called magnesium nitride

What happens when HCl is added to a magnesium ribbon?

Well it depends on the acid. For example in Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) the Magnesium would react with the HCl and replace the Hydrogen creating Magnesium Chloride and Hydrogen gas ( 2HCl + Mg ----> MgCl2 + H2 ). However mix it with other acids and nothing could happen or an even more violent reaction could occur. It all depends on what exact compound you mix it with.


Which nonmetals could form an ionic compound with magnesium with the formula MgX2 (where X represents the nonmetal)?

The halogens would bond with magnesium in such a ration. They are fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine.


What precautions should be taken when burning magnesium?

Magnesium ribbon is not particularly dangerous unless you ignite it. If it does catch fire, it will burn with an intensly bright white light that will burn your retinas if you aren't wearing appropriate eye protection or aren't looking away while it is burning. It is as bad as watching arc welding because of the ultraviolet light emitted. It is good form to wear eye protection in the lab at all times. While you can tear the ribbon with your fingers, it is possible that it could poke you in the eye and scratch your cornea.


When white powder is left behind after water evaporates, what could be the possible substance that was dissolved in the water?

The possible substance that could be dissolved in the water and leave behind white powder after evaporation is a salt, such as table salt (sodium chloride) or Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate).


What is the independent variable in the magnesium oxide reaction?

The independent variable in the Magnesium Oxide Lab would be the Mass of the Magnesium Ribbon. This is because the mass of the product, i.e. Magnesium Oxide, depends on how much Magnesium is added.

3. A student performs this experiment but fails to remove the tarnished materials on the outside of the magnesium ribbon with steel wool. a. What is the tarnished materials b. What effect would thi?

a. The tarnished materials on the magnesium ribbon are likely magnesium oxide or magnesium hydroxide, which form when magnesium reacts with oxygen and moisture in the air. b. Failing to remove these tarnished materials would hinder the reaction between magnesium and any reactants, such as acids, during the experiment. This could lead to reduced reaction efficiency, lower gas production, or misinterpretation of results, as the tarnished layer acts as a barrier that prevents proper contact between the magnesium and the reactants.

Why rubbed magnesium ribbon burns faster than non rubbed magnesium ribbon?

IF the chemical composition is the same in both rubbed and non-rubbed than the only difference could be that oxygen is more readily available in the rubbed ribbon. Which burns faster, 100 lb tree stump or 100 lbs of sawdust made from that tree stump? They are both the same material except one is more solid than the other. The sustained chemical reaction in fire needs: Heat, fuel, and oxygen. Because the rubbed ribbons allow for more oxygen to be present (like saw dust), it will burn faster.


You are doing a project on coke acid what should you know?

Try working out the pH, the acidity. You can try adding indicators to it, or you can try reacting coke with a reactive metal such as magnesium ribbon. Or, you could try the coin trick... :)


Why magnesium ribbon held with a pair of tongs and not with bare hands when it is burnt in air?

Magnesium ribbon is held with tongs instead of bare hands when burned in air because it ignites at a high temperature, producing a bright white flame and intense heat. Handling it with bare hands could result in burns or injury due to the extreme heat generated during combustion. Additionally, tongs help maintain a safe distance from the reaction and prevent direct contact with the reactive metal.


Can hamsters play with ribbon?

I would not let them play with it. They could try to eat the fibbers off the ribbon.


Is magnesium carbonate and magnesium trisilicate the same med?

Magnesium carbonate and magnesium trisilicate are not the same chemically, but both of them could be effective antacids.


What is the coating on a magnesium strip?

Magnesium oxide. It's produced by magnesium reacting with oxygen.
