Magnesium is a light silver-white ductile ( easily influenced ) bivalent metallic element; in pure form it burns with brilliant white flame; occurs naturally only in combination (as in magnesite and dolomite and carnallite and spinel and olivine.
Magnesium is element number 12 on the Periodic Table. It is an alkaline earth metal. It is interesting, because it is the first metal on the periodic table that you can safely make things out of. Lithium reacts with water, beryllium is extremely toxic, and sodium also reacts with water, the next metal is magnesium.
Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body and is essential to good health. Approximately 50% of the magnesium in your body is in your bones. The other half is predominantly inside your tissue and organ cells. Only 1% of magnesium is found in your blood, but your body works very hard to keep blood levels of magnesium constant. Magnesium is absorbed in your small intestine, and is excreted through your kidneys.

What is the best way to put out a magnesium fire?
The special powder extinguishers are designed specifically to fight combustible metal fires (class D), such as sodium, lithium, magnesium and aluminum when in the form of swarf or powder. The extinguishers are equipped with a special very low velocity applicator to ensure the fire fighting powder is applied efficiently and effectively to burning metal and prevent burning swarf from spreading. The L2 version contains powder formulated for extinguishing all metal fires including lithium.* Unique lance applicator designed to allow the powder to fall evenly over the fire* Colour coded area for easy identification* Highly effective against metal fires. Which include lithium, sodium, magnesium and aluminum when in the form of powder or swarf* L2 contains powder suitable for fires involving lithium* M28 does not cover lithium fire risks* Unique hose swivel joint for easy directional controlLithium L2 Powder Extinguisher - 9kg capacityM28 Powder Extinguisher - 9kg capacity
Describe what happens to magnesium when it is burnt?
When it reaches the flame, it ignites and burns with an extremely bright white light. It's so bright it could damage your eyes, so you should not look directly at it. The magnesium metal combines with oxygen from the air to form a white ash called magnesium oxide. This is a redox reaction. Magnesium atoms lose electrons and oxygen atoms gain them, resulting in an ionic compound, Mg2+O2- (where the numbers and charges should be superscripts). There is also a small amount of reaction with the nitrogen of the air, forming magnesium nitride.
What do welders need to weld?

Will tracer rounds work in a pistol?
Yes! Tracer rounds will work in any gunpowder projectile as the expolsion of firing the round ignites the phosphorus/magnisum/barium salts to create the glow
