The color traditionally used to represent magnesium (Mg) is light silver or gray. A top tube in this color would be suitable for drawing a sample for magnesium testing.

What is the electron dot structure for magnesium iodide?

Magnesium Nitride is Mg3N2. What I think you do is draw it Mg N Mg N Mg and then draw 8 electrons around each Nitrogen so that Mg shares its 2 electrons with Nitrogen and Nitrogen's Pz electron is bumped down into the Px.


How do you test for H2S?

The Squeaky Pop Test Mg and HCl are in a test tube reacting, immediately after placing the Mg inside the test tube, place a second test tube upside down on top of the the first tube When they have finished reacting, place you thumb over the top of the second tube (the one containing the H2 gas). flip it, and light a match (a splint works the same) quickly remove your thumb and place the match/splint over the tube. It should produce a pop (may be a squeek, depending on how well you do it) Copper and hydochloric acid 2 HCl + 2 Cu --> 2 CuCl + H2 (for Cu 1+) 2 HCl + Cu --> CuCl2 + H2 (for Cu 2+) so yes, hydrogen gas is produced for both copper I and copper II


Mg on red litmus paper acid or base?

The paper changes colour from red to blue. This is because when you mix MgO with water, you now have Mg(OH)2 solution which is basic and hence changes the colour of red litmus paper to blue.


Equal lengths of Mg ribbon are taken in test tubes A and B. HCl is added to test-tube A while CH3COOH is added to test-tube B. In which test tube will the fizzing occur more and why?

Fizzing will occur more in test tube A because: i) HCl is a strong acid while CH3COOH is a weak acid ii) HCl completely dissociates into H+ and Cl- ions while CH3COOH wont completely ionise!!!
