When magnesium ribbon is bought near the Bunsen flame it catches fire and the colour of the flame produced would be?

The flame is white and very luminous.


What happens when magnesium ribbon burns?

When a magnesium ribbon is burned it combines with molecular oxygen forming magnesium oxide (MgO); the flame color is white.A huge spark. Kind of like a firework-ish. You kind of have to see it.


What happens when magnesium ribbon is burnt in air?

Magnesium is an extremely reactive metal. When stored, it reacts with oxygen to form a layer of magnesium oxide on its surface. This layer of magnesium oxide is quite stable and prevents further reaction of magnesium with oxygen. The magnesium ribbon is cleaned by sand paper for removing this layer so that the underlying metal can be exposed to air.


Is magnesium conductors?

Magnesium has many states, for example Magnesium Choride, or Magnesium carbonate. Magnesium has been experimented with as a Non Heat Conductor successfully using Magnesium Carbonate, and is also potentially argued as a lightweight form of heat resistant coating. Magnesium itself however, as Magnesium ribbon demonstrates, is highly flammable under direct flame, and reacts by giving off extremely bright light and heat, when in flame.


What is the reaction of magnesium and heat?

When magnesium is heated, it reacts with oxygen in the air to form magnesium oxide. This reaction produces a bright white light and a lot of heat energy. The equation for this reaction is: 2Mg + O2 -> 2MgO.


Why does a magnesium ribbon burn with a dazzling white flame?

When burned in air with a Bunsen burner it produces a bright white flame/light. Never look directly at it as it will hurt your eyes. After burning they produce magnesium oxide. here's an equation for it : 2Mg + O2 -----> 2MgO


Why are some material burn with flamewhile other without flame?

Some elements react fiercly with oxygen in the air while others require the heat from a flame to induce a reaction. For example, magnesium ribbon needs to be heated to react with oxygen. But pure sodium will react with oxygen in the air quickly and therefore needs to be stored in oil.


What colour does the sparkler burn of burning magnesium?

An intense white flame is produced when magnesium burns.


What color does Magnesium chloride burn?
