The independent variable in the Magnesium Oxide Lab would be the Mass of the Magnesium Ribbon. This is because the mass of the product, i.e. Magnesium Oxide, depends on how much Magnesium is added.

∙ 7y agoA reaction is not an investigation unless you set it up with a question to answer. I'll assume you mean burning magnesium to get magnesium oxide, and not the reaction of magnesium oxide with acid. For instance, you might ask 'What is the effect on the rate of burning if you have magnesium with different surface areas?' In that case the independent variable is the surface area. Another question is 'How does the partial pressure of oxygen affect the time for burning?' and the partial pressure is the independent variable. This is not a good reaction to pick for an investigation, as it is so violent and very difficult to measure whatever dependent variable you pick. Magnesium oxide and acid would be great. You could look at the effect on rate of such variables as the concentration of the acid and its temperature.

What is the word equation for zinc oxide plus magnesium?
Zinc oxide reacts with metallic magnesium to produce magnesium oxide and metallic zinc.
What reaction is it when magnesium is burnt in air?
Magnesium plus oxygen becomes magnesium oxide.
What type of chemical reaction is magnesium oxide?
Magnesium Oxide is a compound, not a reaction. However if you are talking about making magnesium oxide from its individual elements, that would be a redox reaction. In this reaction, magnesium is going from a zero oxidation state to a +2 oxidation state. If you think of the acronym OIL RIG (Oxidation Is Lost Reduction Is Gained) Magnesium is being oxidized as it has lost two electrons. As well, the oxygen is gaining two electrons to have a -2 charge and is therefore being reduced hence the term redox.
When magnesium combine with oxygen to form magnesium oxide what type of reaction is form?
combination
What are the products of the reaction between magnesium and water?
The product is magnesium oxide (MgO) when magnesium reacts with oxygen.2Mg(s) + O2(g) --> 2MgO(s)magnesium + oxygen --> magnesium oxide
What is the word equation for zinc oxide plus magnesium?
Zinc oxide reacts with metallic magnesium to produce magnesium oxide and metallic zinc.
What is the word equation for the reaction of magnesium with nitrogen?
magnesium oxide + nitrogen >>> magnesium nitrite
What reaction is it when magnesium is burnt in air?
Magnesium plus oxygen becomes magnesium oxide.
What are products in science?
A compound / element created by a chemical reaction. Example: Magnesium + Oxygen -> Magnesium Oxide The Magnesium Oxide would be the Product.
What is an example of reductionism?
The reaction between magnesium oxide and carbon at 2000C to form magnesium metal and carbon monoxide is an example of the reduction of magnesium oxide to magnesium metal.
Magnesium reacts with oxygen gas to produce magnesium oxide light and heat this reaction is?
an exothermic combination reaction

Magnesium reacts violently with oxygen to make Magnesium Oxide
What are the products of the reaction between magnesium and water?
The product is magnesium oxide (MgO) when magnesium reacts with oxygen.2Mg(s) + O2(g) --> 2MgO(s)magnesium + oxygen --> magnesium oxide
