*when putting a piece of magnesium into dilute hydrocloric acid .

*then hydrogen gas bubbles off.

*this shows that magnesium react quickly in acid.

What is the metal that reacts slowly with cold water to form a hydroxide?

The metal that reacts slowly with cold water to form a hydroxide is magnesium. When magnesium reacts with water, it forms magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.


Magnesium reacts with water?

Magnesium reacts with water to produce magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. Mg + 2H2O ---> Mg(OH)2 + H2


What do you call the white powder that is formed when magnesium reacts with steam?

The white powder formed when magnesium reacts with steam is magnesium oxide.


What is the coating on a magnesium strip?

Magnesium oxide. It's produced by magnesium reacting with oxygen.


Does magnesium react?

Magnesium reacts with steam faster than cold water because magnesium needs to burn to get magnesium oxide and to get magnesium oxide there has to be heat and since steam is already heated it doesn't need much time, but the cold water needs time to heat first to react.


Magnesium reacts with phosphorus?

When magnesium reacts with phosphorus, they form magnesium phosphide. This compound is typically a gray solid and can release highly toxic phosphine gas when it reacts with water. The reaction is exothermic and can occur at high temperatures.


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.


Which reaction will happen faster sodium with water or magnesium with water?

Sodium is MUCH faster.


What would happen if hydrochloric acid reacts with magnesium oxide?

Magnesium Chloride and water would be formed. MgO + 2HCl ------> MgCl2 +H2O


What reacts with water to form a gas?

One example of a substance that reacts with water to form a gas is sodium metal. When sodium reacts with water, it produces hydrogen gas and sodium hydroxide. This is a highly exothermic reaction that can be dangerous if not conducted properly.


The differences in the reactions of potassium magnesium and copper with water?

Potassium reacts vigorously with water, producing hydrogen gas and forming potassium hydroxide. Magnesium reacts slowly with water, liberating hydrogen gas and forming magnesium hydroxide. Copper does not react with water at room temperature due to its low reactivity with water molecules.


What do you get from Mg plus H20?

magnesium and water? Well mg reacts better with steam which is still h20. mg + 2H2O = 2mgO
