What will hppen if you put a piece of magnesium into dilute nitric acid?

Im not sure about very dilute acid and strong magnesium but; magnesium and dilute nitric acid formed alot of gas, the color changed to a browney orange and the temperature increased significantly. I was told (by my science teacher) that when writing the chemical equation you didnt have to include water so; magnesium + nitric acid-------> magnesium nitrate + hydrogen Hope this helps. :)

At first you would think this reaction would not occur, however if you complete the Total Ionic and Net Ionic equations for this reaction, you'll see the driving force for this reaction is transfer of proton.

2HNO3 + Mg(s) --> Mg(NO3)2 + H2,(g)
The reaction forms magnesium nitrate and hydrogen gas

Which piece of apparatus is used to add dilute nitric acid to potassium hydroxide?
a burette
When a piece of magnesium is added to dilute hydrochloric acid occurs and hydrogen gas is released from the mixtureThe fizzing is evidence that has occured between magnesium and hydrochloric acid is?
That a reaction has occurred between the magnesium & hydrochloric acid: Mg(s) + HCL(aq) --> MgCl(aq) + H2(g)
What is the word equation for burning magnesium ribbon?
magnesium + oxygen gas ----D magnesium oxide
What happens to a piece of copper placed in magnesium chloride solution?
Any reaction occur.
What compound is formed when magnesium is burnt?
Magnesium oxide (MgO) is formed. When a piece of magnesium ribbon is burnt it reacts with oxygen in air according to the chemical equation: 2Mg(s) + O2(g) → 2MgO(s) The magnesium burns in a bright white light and the resulting magnesium oxide is in the form of a white powder.

How could you show that magnesium reacts faster with acid than with water?
*when putting a piece of magnesium into dilute hydrocloric acid . *then hydrogen gas bubbles off. *this shows that magnesium react quickly in acid.
When a piece of magnesium is added to dilute hydrochloric acid occurs and hydrogen gas is released from the mixtureThe fizzing is evidence that has occured between magnesium and hydrochloric acid is?
That a reaction has occurred between the magnesium & hydrochloric acid: Mg(s) + HCL(aq) --> MgCl(aq) + H2(g)
How do you get magnesium oxide?
Burn a piece of magnesium (just did an assessment on that)
What would you see if a piece of magnesium ribbon reacts with dilute hydrocholric acid?
You would see bubbles (effervescence) of Hydrogen gas being given off as the reaction happens.Magnesium + Hydrochloric acid ------> Magnesium Chloride + HydrogenMetal + acid ------> Metal Salt + Hydrogen
What are magnesium turnings?
According to the chemist I spoke to at Flinn supply company, a magnesium turning is a small, thin, curled piece of magnesium, like you would get if you were shaving small strips of wood off of a bigger piece.
What happens to a piece of magnesium when it is heated?
it become ductile
What is the word equation for burning magnesium ribbon?
magnesium + oxygen gas ----D magnesium oxide
What happens when a piece of magnesium is dropped into a beaker of hot water?
It will react slowly to form magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.
What happens to a piece of copper placed in magnesium chloride solution?
Any reaction occur.
Why does magnesium go out immedely in nitrogen?
Burning of magnesium (or anything else) requires continuing combination with oxygen. If a burning piece of magnesium is transferred to an atmosphere of nitrogen, no additional magnesium can react with oxygen because none is available for reaction.
What household items contain magnesium?
Milk of magnesia is an aqueous suspension of magnesium hydroxide.
