What weighs more magnesium or the white ash?

Magnesium weight more than ash. White ash is magnesium oxide.


What weighs more magnesium or white ash?

Magnesium weight more than ash. White ash is magnesium oxide.


White ash obtained by burning magnesium ribbon?

the white ash is the chemial product produced when Mg is reacted with oxide.There the white ash is MgO(magnesuim oxide)


How do you prove metal oxide is basic?

when ash of magnesium is dissolved in water then magnesium hydroxide is formed. MgO + H2O---->Mg{oh}2 hence, the solution is basic in nature.The oxides of metals are basic in nature.Therefore,their aqueous solution turns red litmus blue.


What causes magnesium ribbon to become ash?

Burning (oxydation) and transformation in magnesium oxide.


What is the chemical name for white ash?

Magnesium oxide


How can you differentiate a acid solution from a salt solution using magnesium ribbon?

The magnesium will produce bubbles of hydrogen gas in the acid solution. It may do this in the salt solution, but not as much.


What do you see when you burn magnesium ribbon?

it turn white as ash


How do you make magnesium hydroxide solution?

You make it with magnesium hydrogen and oxygen!


Is magnesium hydroxide more soluble in an acidic solution or pure water?

Magnesium hydroxide is more soluble in an acidic solution.


When coal is burned the ash weighs less than the coal when magnesium burns the ash weighs more than magnesium?

That is true. Coal is composed mostly of carbon, and when it burns it turns into carbon dioxide, which is a gas. The ash is just a minor residue of the non-carbon part of the coal. Whereas, magnesium when it burns turns into a solid material, magnesium oxide; it gains oxygen from the air and therefore increases in weight.


Magnesium burning in air is an example of this type of chemical change?

The magnesium burns readily in air to produce a white ash which is magnesium oxide. This is due to the "oxidation" of the metal.
