None But It Will Give You Magnesium Oxide Which Is A Solid. x

and That's why burning Mg is not harmfull to the environment but Mg is found as a compound mixed with other elements on earth and to get it clean from the compounds you will need to uses elements which will cause Co2 to form which causes globel worming

No, it is formed by an ionic bond between one magnesium and one oxygen atom, made by burning magnesium ribbon which oxidizes, resulting in a powder.

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.

How many atoms of magnesium react with one molecule of oxygen?

One molecule of oxygen will react with one molecule of hydrogen to produce one molecule of hydrogen peroxide: H2 + O2 --> H2O2 One half molecule of oxygen will react with one molecule of hydrogen to produce one molecule of water: H2 + ½O2 --> H2O ...but nobody would write it like that. It is more correct as follows: 2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O


What would you see if a piece of magnesium ribbon reacts with dilute hydrocholric acid?

You would see bubbles (effervescence) of Hydrogen gas being given off as the reaction happens.Magnesium + Hydrochloric acid ------> Magnesium Chloride + HydrogenMetal + acid ------> Metal Salt + Hydrogen


Why when magnesium ribbon is burnt the ash is heavier?

When Magnesium burns, it is actually combining with oxygen in the air to form a new compound, magnesium oxide. If we were to carefully weigh a piece of magnesium before and after burning it, you would see that its weight increased by about one third. For example, if you start with 100 grams of magnesium, after the burn you would end up with about 130 grams of magnesium oxide. The fact that the magnesium oxide you create by burning is powdery, means that it takes up more space (size or volume) than the solid magnesium did.

Oxygen affects rusting , not temperature. Rust is created when the matal reacts with the oxygen in the air see. (: Hope it helped.


How could you show that magnesium reacts with acid faster with acid than with pure water and what would you see?

Metallic magnesium will cause rapid evolution of hydrogen gas when contacted with an acid in water solution, but will cause gas evolution much more slowly if at all when in contact with pure water.

What is the difference in mixing magnesium oxide with sulfuric acid than mixing magnesium carbonate with sulfuric acid?

Magnesium Oxide and Magnesium Carbonate are very different, Magnesium Oxide is Magnesium fused with Oxygen whereas Magnesium Carbonate is Magnesium fused with Carbon and Oxygen. The suffix "ate" means that an oxygen atom is involved. This added element (carbon) means that there will be a slight change in product. The chemical formula for Magnesium carbonate is MgCO3 whereas Magnesium oxide is MgO. See how there are two extra oxygens and one extra carbon? Add them together and you have CO2 and this is your difference. The difference in mixing magnesium oxide with sulfuric acid rather than mixing magnesium carbonate with sulfuric acid is that sulfuric acid and Magnesium carbonate create CO2 whereas Magnesium Oxide and sulfuric acid do not.


What happened when magnesium reacts with methanol?

Yes it does. See review: Magnesium in Methanol (Mg/MeOH) in Organic Syntheses, Current Organic Chemistry, 2004, 8, 1263-1287 Good luck.
