Why is magnesium not used to make cars?

Magnesium is not widely used in cars due to its high flammability and tendency to ignite at relatively low temperatures. In the case of a fire, magnesium can be difficult to extinguish and can pose a safety risk. Additionally, magnesium is more expensive to manufacture and work with compared to other materials like steel and aluminum.

Can the metal Magnesium easily react with water at room temperature?

Magnesium does react with water at room temperature. It does however not catch fire as such. It is a "slow" reaction and does not self-ignite. It forms Magnesium Oxide and Hydrogen when it reacts with water. Larger (not that large) quantities of Magnesium on fire will not be put out by being submerged in water. Water can however put it out if one sprays it with water at high enough force. This will cool down the metal and it will not longer be able to sustain the fire. It will burn in an atmosphere of pure nitrogen unlike almost any other fires. Easiest way to put out a Magnesium fire is to cover it with sand or salt.

Why would carbon dioxide not put out a magnesium fire?

This is because once the magnesium starts to burn, the uninhibited chemical reaction dominates the fire's need for oxygen (carbon dioxide usually puts fires out by displacing oxygen). The magnesium will continue to burn until there is nothing left to burn.


What temperature does thermal decomposition occur at for magnesium carbonate?

Thermal decomposition of magnesium carbonate occurs at around 350-400°C. At this temperature, magnesium carbonate breaks down into magnesium oxide and carbon dioxide.
