What type of chemical reaction takes place when magnesium wire is heated?

∙ 11y ago
When magnesium metal wire is heated in open air, an oxidation-reduction reaction takes place between the magnesium and the oxygen in the air. The magnesium is oxidized as the oxygen is reduced. The product of this reaction is magnesium oxide, MgO.
Note that this reaction can also be deemed a combustion reaction, which is a specific type of redox reaction which involves the production of heat and sometimes light.

When magnesium burns in air is it chemical or physical change?
Burning magnesium (or burning anything) can be described as a chemical reaction, or as a chemical change. It is not a property. However, the capacity of being able to burn, also known as flammability, is a chemical property.
What is equation for the reaction that takes place when magnesiam burns in aiur?
Reaction that takes place when magnesium burns in air= Magnesium + Oxygen = Magnesium Oxide (magnesia)
When you burn magnesium in air what might show you a chemical reaction has taken place?
I don't know how you know afterwards but when you burn magnesium in air it burns this really bright white light.
What is a balanced chemical equation for magnesium oxide?
Magnesium + oxygen --> magnesium oxide 2Mg (s) + O2 (g) --> 2MgO (s)
What is the chemical reaction of mg plus cu so4 and why?
A displacement reaction takes place as magnesium is above copper in the electrochemical series. This reaction would produce copper (Cu) and magnesium sulphate (MgSO4) (sorry i cant find an arrow symbol for below) Mg + CuSO4 (arrow) Cu + MgSO4
A chemical reaction takes place in which magnesium combines with oxygen to form magnesium oxide. Which of the chemical equations matches the reaction above?
2Mg + O2 2MgO + Energy

Which type if of chemical reaction takes place when hydrogen peroxide is heated and separates into hydrogen and oxygen?
combustion
What is equation for the reaction that takes place when magnesiam burns in aiur?
Reaction that takes place when magnesium burns in air= Magnesium + Oxygen = Magnesium Oxide (magnesia)
Inside a flashbulb oxygen surrounds a thin coil of magnesium When the flashbulb is set off a chemical reaction takes place in which magnesium combines with oxygen to form magnesium oxide?
2Mg + O2 2MgO + Energy

What type of chemical reaction takes place when a magnesium wire is burnt in air and write chemical equation for the same?
When magnesium oxide is burnt in air, an oxidation of the magnesium and reduction of some of the oxygen in the air occurs according to the equation:2 Mg + O2 -> 2 MgO.
What is a balanced chemical equation for magnesium oxide?
Magnesium + oxygen --> magnesium oxide 2Mg (s) + O2 (g) --> 2MgO (s)
Which type of chemical reaction takes place when hydrogen peroxide is heated and separates into hydrogen and oxygen?
i think it's a combustion reaction because heat is involved. hope it's right
What changes gives NO evidence that a chemical reaction has taken place?
Physical changes give no evidence that a chemical reaction has taken place, because no chemical reaction has taken place.

Word equation for the reaction that takes place when a sparkler is lit?
Magnesium+oxyge>Magnesium oxide
