What the word equation when magnesium oxide forms from magnesium metal and oxygen gas?

The word equation for the formation of magnesium oxide from magnesium metal and oxygen gas is: magnesium + oxygen → magnesium oxide.


Does magnesium react?

Magnesium reacts with steam faster than cold water because magnesium needs to burn to get magnesium oxide and to get magnesium oxide there has to be heat and since steam is already heated it doesn't need much time, but the cold water needs time to heat first to react.


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.


What is ozonated magnesium oxide and how does it differ from traditional magnesium oxide supplements?

Ozonated magnesium oxide is a form of magnesium oxide that has been exposed to ozone gas. This process is believed to increase the bioavailability and effectiveness of the magnesium. Traditional magnesium oxide supplements are not exposed to ozone gas and may have lower absorption rates in the body.


Magnesium reacts with steam to make magnesium oxide and...?

... hydrogen gas. This is a displacement reaction in which magnesium displaces hydrogen in water to form magnesium oxide and hydrogen gas.


What is the gas that reacts with calcium and magnesium when they burn?

Hydrogen gas is released when calcium and water react.


When you heat iron oxide powder with magnesium powder?

When you heat iron oxide powder with magnesium powder, a chemical reaction takes place where the magnesium reacts with the oxygen in the iron oxide to produce iron metal and magnesium oxide. This is a type of redox reaction where reduction and oxidation occur simultaneously.


What compound is formed by magnesium and oxygen?

Magnesium oxide, MgO (base). It is a form of rust.


What is the formation of magnesium oxide?

Magnesium oxide forms when magnesium metal reacts with oxygen gas to produce magnesium oxide. The chemical equation for this reaction is 2Mg + O2 -> 2MgO.
