What compound is magnesium and oxygen make?
This compound is magnesium oxide - MgO.
Is nitric oxide a basic oxide or an acidic?
Nitric oxide is acidic in nature.
Magnesium oxide is an ionic compound represented by the formula unit?
MgO. Both the magnesium cation and the oxide anion are divalent, so that each ion neutralizes the charge of the other ion.
What is the new substance when magnesium is burned?
Assuming Oxygen is the oxidizing element: 2Mg + O2 -> 2MgO + energy So your answer is MgO or Magnesium oxide or Magnesia
Is P2O5 an acidic oxide?
it is acidic
What compound is magnesium and oxygen make?
This compound is magnesium oxide - MgO.
What is the chemical formula for Magnesium Oxide?
the final formula of magnesium oxide is MgO.
Is MgO an acidic or basic anhydride?
Basic. Remember metal oxides of which magnesium oxide is one, are basic oxides.
How can you test for magnesium oxide and carbon dioxide?
Carbon dioxide absorbed in water form carbonic acid, H2CO3; the pH become acidic and you can test the solution with a pH paper. A simple test for the magnesium oxide, MgO, is to measure the refractive index (this value is 1,736 for MgO.
What is MGO?
It is Magnesium Oxide
How is MgO a compound?
Yes. MgO is the compound known as magnesium oxide.
What is the compound of mgo in chemistry?
MgO, magnesium oxide an ionic compound
What is mgo stand for?
If "mgo" is supposed to be a chemical formula, it should be written as MgO and then stands for magnesium oxide.
What is the pH of MgO?
Magnesium oxide is an oxide, without pH.
What is the molecular formula of magnesium oxide?
