What compound is magnesium and oxygen make?
This compound is magnesium oxide - MgO.
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
What is the heat combution of magnesium oxide?
the combustion of magnesium oxide is carbon+sulfur_carbonate sulfur
When magnesium combine with oxygen?
It makes a white light which you aren't aloud to look at because it will hurt your eyes.Above is correct. Magnesium and oxygen can burn explosively, producing a LOT of heat, intense light, and magnesium oxide.
Health benefits of magnesium oxide?
http://www.greenbarley.com/ccdetail3.html This is a great site on the benefits of magnesium oxide
Is magnesium oxide an acid or alkali's?
alkali
Would magnesium oxide make an alkali?
Yes. Magnesium oxide will react with water to form magnesium hydroxide.
Why is copper oxide a base but not an alkali?
Copper oxide is unsoluble in water. A requirement for an alkali is: a soluble base. So copper oxide is a base but not an alkali.
Is calcium oxide acid or alkali?
Metal oxides are bases.So calcium oxide is also a base or alkali.
What happens when magnesium oxide is put in water?
If you look on the pH scale, water is neutral, so adding magnesium oxide will turn the water from neutral to an alkali. I hope this helped:)
Do all bases contain hydroxide ions?
A BASE is a metal oxide. A soluble base is an ALKALI and contains hydroxide ions. (-OH) Sodium oxide (Na2O) is a BASE Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is an ALKALI. The alkali comes about because the sodium oxide dissolved in water to form the alkali. Na2O + H2O = 2NaOH .
What is the common name for MgO?
Magnesium Oxide
What is magnesium hydroxide base-alkali or acid?
Hydroxides are bases.
What compound is formed by magnesium and oxygen?
Magnesium oxide, MgO (base). It is a form of rust.
Is magnesium nitrate a base or acid?
Neither. Strictly speaking it is a very weak base. A Magnesium Nitrate solution is neutral with a pH of 7.0. Salts of strong acids are neutral. Magnesium Nitrate is salt of Nitric acid which is very strong acid.
Is copper oxide a alkali?
Copper oxide is not an alkaline but it is a base
Is magnesium alkali or acid?
The 'ash of burning magnesium' is magnesium oxide, MgO, which is alkaline when dissolved in water. However it is only slightly soluble in water, but much better in acid. MgO + H2O --> Mg(OH)2 MgO + 2H+ ==> Mg2+ + H2O
