What colour does moist red litmus paper turn in magnesium oxide?

Moist red litmus paper will turn blue when exposed to magnesium oxide because magnesium oxide is a basic compound. The red litmus paper will change color to blue to indicate the presence of a base.


When magnesium is reacted with water why does it turn the litmus paper blue?

Red litmus paper turns blue in basic conditions. the reaction of magnesium with water produces Magnesium Oxide and Hydrogen. Magnesium Oxide (Mg(OH)2) dissolves in water to form an alkaline solution. (Alkalines are a type of base)


What is the change of colour of litmus paper when magnesium is burnt in air?

The litmus paper will turn red in the presence of magnesium oxide formed when magnesium is burnt in air. Magnesium reacts with oxygen to form magnesium oxide, which is a basic substance that turns red litmus paper blue.


What substance is formed when magnesium burns in air?

When magnesium burns in air, it forms magnesium oxide (MgO). This is a white powder that is a result of the reaction between magnesium and oxygen.


Magnesium oxide ionic or molecular?

Magnesium oxide, or MgO, is an ionic compound: the result of a metal reacting with a non-metal.


What is the common name for MgO?

Magnesium Oxide


What happens when sulphur dioxide dissolved in water is tested by blue litmus paper?

Burnt Magnesium ribbon ----> MgO (magnesium oxide)(basic in nature) When added to water, it forms its hydroxide MgO+H2O ----> Mg(OH)2 (which is a base) when added to litmus paper or litmus solution....it will give a light blue colour


What has magnesium joined with to make the white powder?

Magnesium oxide is created when magnesium metal reacts with oxygen in the air. The white powder is the oxide compound formed as a result of this reaction.


What relationships are there between magnesium and magnesium oxide?

Magnesium oxide is formed when magnesium metal reacts with oxygen. It is an oxide of magnesium. Magnesium is the metal, and magnesium oxide is the resulting compound formed when magnesium reacts with oxygen.


How do you prove metal oxide is basic?

when ash of magnesium is dissolved in water then magnesium hydroxide is formed. MgO + H2O---->Mg{oh}2 hence, the solution is basic in nature.The oxides of metals are basic in nature.Therefore,their aqueous solution turns red litmus blue.


What type of oxide is magnesium oxide?

The answer is in the question. Magnesium is an element, so is oxygen, together they can form MgO, a compound, as compounds are multi atomic structures, like Iron Oxide, another rust just like MgO.


What is the result when magnesium oxide reacts with water?

Magnesium Hydroxide forms. MgO + H2O = Mg(OH)2
