Magnesium is a very flammable metal when heated to its flash point. Once it starts to burn, it is nearly impossible to extinguish, hence its use in magnesium road flares. It can be safely used in some alloys, but the cost is prohibitive.
To make magnesium sulfate, you would use sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and magnesium carbonate (MgCO3) as the starting materials. When sulfuric acid is added to magnesium carbonate, it will react to form magnesium sulfate, carbon dioxide, and water.
i use sparklers as they contain metal fuels such as magnesium, titanium as well as others which mean they at the right temps for a high temp ignitions. Ribbon is not very stable when lit where as sparklers can withstand the strongest winds.
Magnesium is used extensively in cars, but not currently mainly for main body parts, although this is likely to change as technology progresses. The main challenges to using magnesium for main body parts like roof, doors etc. are difficulties forming shapes in magnesium using conventional steel pressing techniques (magnesium needs to be heated to be formed into complex shapes) and cost - magnesium is significantly more expensive than steel. Corrosion performance is a secondary issue. Flammability is not a major concern. Magnesium is a light weight high temper metal but Flammability IS a major concern. When Magnesium catches on fire, it is nearly impossible to put out. Magnesium is used extensively in Aviation but I do not believe it is used as extensively as the first comment mentioned.
Magnesium is typically produced through a process called the Pidgeon process or the Magnetherm process. In these methods, magnesium oxide is first extracted from magnesium-rich minerals or seawater. The oxide is then mixed with a reducing agent, such as ferrosilicon or carbon, and heated in a furnace at high temperatures. This process results in the reduction of magnesium oxide to magnesium metal, which can then be further refined and processed into various forms for commercial use.
Yes, magnesium can be used in certain types of incendiary bombs because it burns at high temperatures and can create intense heat and bright light upon ignition. Magnesium's properties make it a suitable component for creating thermal effects in explosive devices.
Because it is expensive and a fire hazard. Also not easy to work with. So the advantage of low weight is outbalanced by the disadvantage of price and complexity of machining.
i have no idea :D woooooooop (Y)x
Magnesium is predominantly used in alloys that are strong but with relatively low density, which is important for airplane bodies to increase their energy efficiency.
Many applications use magnesium to alloy with aluminum to make that much stronger.
Usually, Alloys have better properties - like strength-to -weight ratio - than the parent metals. Pure Magnesium is also a bit nasty to use and work with as it can Catch fire.
To make magnesium sulfate, you would use sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and magnesium carbonate (MgCO3) as the starting materials. When sulfuric acid is added to magnesium carbonate, it will react to form magnesium sulfate, carbon dioxide, and water.
People use magnesium to make rims because of many good characteristics of magnesium. It is light, shiny, and very durable. Magnesium is the third most used metal in the united states. They also use it because it is almost identical to aluminum.
Use pure magnesium and pure oxygen.
Magnesium is found in chlorophyll and this kind of pigment have a porphyrin ring associated with the protein.
For automotive use steel is inexpensive and easy to form. Kitchen sinks use stainless steel because it won't rust but it is harder to form.
magnesium is important because we use in fire work and also we use to make a phone and laptop to make it shinny and beautiful.
Rigid car bodies are needed to hold up heavy engines and heavy passengers, and to transmit the powerful forces used to power the wheels. With flexible car bodies, this would not work. Cars can use rubber in certain strategic locations, however, particularly the tires and the bumpers.
