Magnesium metal and Zinc Nitrate react according to the equation:

Mg(s) + Zn(NO3)2(aq) --> Mg(NO3)2(aq) + Zn(s)

written ionically as:

Mg(s) + Zn2+(aq) --> Mg2+(aq) + Zn(s)

This is a typical metal displacement reaction

Would copper and zinc nitrate react?

They could, since magnesium is more reactive than copper, and could displace it to form magnesium nitrate.


How do you distinguish between zing nitrate and magnesium nitrate?

Zinc nitrate is a compound composed of zinc and nitrate ions, while magnesium nitrate is a compound composed of magnesium and nitrate ions. One way to distinguish them is through their chemical formulas, where zinc nitrate is Zn(NO3)2 and magnesium nitrate is Mg(NO3)2. Additionally, they can also be differentiated by conducting flame tests - zinc nitrate produces a green flame, while magnesium nitrate produces a bright white flame.


Does hydrogen nitrate and zinc react?

Since magnesium is more strongly metallic (that is, has a lower electronegativity) than zinc, it bondly more strongly to the nitrate radical than zinc does, therefore there would be no reaction between magnesium nitrate and zinc.


Why doesnt zinc react with magnesium nitrate or iron chloride?

Zinc does not react with magnesium nitrate or iron chloride because zinc is less reactive than magnesium and iron. In a chemical reaction, a more reactive metal will displace a less reactive metal from its compound. Since zinc is lower in the reactivity series compared to magnesium and iron, it will not displace them from their salts.

Zn plus MgCl2 yields what?

The reaction between zinc (Zn) and magnesium chloride (MgCl2) would yield zinc chloride (ZnCl2) and magnesium (Mg).


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.


What metals will react with aluminum nitrate?

Do magnesium and copper nitrate react?

Yes, magnesium reacts with copper nitrate to form magnesium nitrate and copper. The reaction involves the displacement of copper from the copper nitrate solution by magnesium.


What is the systematic name of Mg(N O 3 ) 2?

Mg(NO3)2 is called magnesium nitrate. You do not use the prefix di for the nitrate since this is an ionic compound, and it can only be (NO3)2 as nitrate has a -1 charge and Mg has a +2 charge.


What is the chemical name Zn(NO3)2?

For clarity, zinc (II) nitrate would be the preferred name. However, if you just said "zinc nitrate", most chemists would guess you meant that formula; the +1 oxidation state is technically possible for zinc, but zinc (I) compounds are relatively rare.
