What else can I help you with?
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.
How can one make magnesium oxide?
To make magnesium oxide, one can heat magnesium metal in the presence of oxygen. This process, called thermal decomposition, causes the magnesium to react with oxygen and form magnesium oxide.
What is the common name for MgO?
Magnesium Oxide
Examples of basic oxides?
Sodium oxide, Magnesium oxide, Copper oxide, Acidic oxide, Amphoteric oxide
Magnesium carbonate when heated?
When magnesium carbonate is heated, it decomposes into magnesium oxide and carbon dioxide gas. This reaction is a thermal decomposition reaction that occurs at high temperatures. The magnesium oxide produced is a white solid, while the carbon dioxide gas is released into the air.

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 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.
How can one make magnesium oxide?
To make magnesium oxide, one can heat magnesium metal in the presence of oxygen. This process, called thermal decomposition, causes the magnesium to react with oxygen and form magnesium oxide.
What does magnesium and oxgyen make?
They make magnesium oxide, MgO.
Would magnesium oxide make an alkali?
Yes. Magnesium oxide will react with water to form magnesium hydroxide.
What is the common name for MgO?
Magnesium Oxide
What compound is magnesium and oxygen make?
Magnesium and oxygen combine to form magnesium oxide (MgO). Magnesium oxide is a white solid that occurs naturally as the mineral periclase. It is commonly used in various industrial applications, including as a refractory material and in the production of ceramics.
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.
Why does magnesium oxide weigh more than magnesium metal?
because it has an oxygen on it. Mg + O > MgO (That's the unbalanced formula)
What does magniesuim and i ron oxide make?
Magnesium oxide and Iron
Examples of basic oxides?
Sodium oxide, Magnesium oxide, Copper oxide, Acidic oxide, Amphoteric oxide
