Does a magnesium metal strip rust when put in hydrochloric acid?

No, magnesium does not rust like iron does when exposed to acids. Instead, magnesium reacts with hydrochloric acid to form magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas, producing bubbles as a result of the chemical reaction.


What does magnesium look like when it is burnt?

We represent the particles (atoms) in magnesium metal as spheres stacked closely together. Magnesium burns when these particles react with the oxygen particles in the surrounding air. The oxygen particles are represented as molecules consisting of two oxygen atoms bonded together. We represent this as two spheres pressed together. The product of the reaction is magnesium oxide and we represent this by joining one of the oxygen spheres to one of the magnesium spheres.


Does magnesium burn better in nitrogen or oxygen?

Magnesium burn in oxygen; burning is an oxidation reaction. Magnesium also reacts with nitrogen at high temperature to form Mg3N2 where the magnesium is oxidised, i.e. loses electrons. When magnesium is burnt in air some nitride is produced which hydrolyses to give a faint smell of ammonia. The enthalpy of formation (heat of reaction) is greater for MgO than for Mg3N2.


What does magnesium look like after burning in air?

magnesium look like white powder after burning in air. magnesium burns in air n react with atmospheric oxygen n forms magnesium oxide which is a white powder.


Is iron or magnesium more reactive?

Magnesium is more reactive than iron. Magnesium reacts more readily with oxygen and water to form compounds like magnesium oxide and magnesium hydroxide compared to iron.
