When you heat copper oxide and magnesium why do you get grey powder?
You get a grey powder because magnesium is higher up in the reactivity series than Copper - (magnesium is more reactive than copper) therefore when you heat it up there is a displacement reaction. That grey powder is actully magnesium oxide and copper e.g Copper oxide + magnesium = magnesium oxide and copper.
Examples of basic oxides?
Sodium oxide, Magnesium oxide, Copper oxide, Acidic oxide, Amphoteric oxide
What is the common name for MgO?
Magnesium Oxide
Magnesium carbonate when heated?
if mixed with air it explodes with a bus off light i did it in science last week 31/10/08 stefan rabicano
What do magnesium and oxygen make?
If you heat magnesium and oxygen together then you will make MgO or Magnesium oxide.

That grey powder is actully magnesium oxide and copper e.g Copper oxide + magnesium = magnesium oxide and copper.
What compound is magnesium and oxygen make?
This compound is magnesium oxide - MgO.
Examples of basic oxides?
Sodium oxide, Magnesium oxide, Copper oxide, Acidic oxide, Amphoteric oxide
What happens to magnesium carbonate copper carbonate zinc carbonate and calcium carbonate when they are heated?
They form magnesium oxide, copper oxide etc. and will form carbon dioxide as a byproduct.
What is formed when magnesium reacts with copper oxide?
It decomposes to form copper oxide and carbon dioxide. It is an endothermic reaction, which means it absorbes energy (as all decomposition reactions do). This is the chemical equation of the reaction: CuCO3 ----> CuO + CO2
What does magnesium and oxgyen make?
They make magnesium oxide, MgO.
What is the common name for MgO?
Magnesium Oxide
Would magnesium oxide make an alkali?
Yes. Magnesium oxide will react with water to form magnesium hydroxide.
Why is gold sliver copper used to make coins but not magnesium?
Magnesium is a highly reactive metal compared to gold, silver and copper. It will form a magnesium oxide as an outer-shell when it comes to contact with oxygen in the air, and it reacts with water, creating hydrogen gas and fizzing.
What does magniesuim and i ron oxide make?
Magnesium oxide and Iron
Magnesium reacts with steam to make magnesium oxide and...?
Hydrogen
