Magnesium reacts with oxygen to form magnesium oxide (MgO) through a vigorous exothermic reaction, producing bright white flames and releasing heat. In contrast, iron reacts with oxygen to form iron oxides, primarily rust (Fe2O3·nH2O) when exposed to moisture. While the reaction of magnesium is quite rapid and intense, iron's reaction can be slower and requires the presence of water or moisture to facilitate rusting. Both reactions illustrate the tendency of metals to oxidize when exposed to oxygen.
What else can I help you with?
Do iron and magnesium oxide react chemically?
Iron and magnesium oxide can react chemically to form iron(II) oxide and magnesium metal. The reaction occurs when iron is heated with magnesium oxide in a high temperature environment, leading to the transfer of oxygen from magnesium oxide to iron.
What is magnesium reactive with?
Magnesium is reactive with oxygen, water, and acids. It can react vigorously with oxygen to form magnesium oxide, with water to form magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas, and with acids to form magnesium salts and hydrogen gas.
Does iron react with magnesium nitrate?
No.
How does acid react with the metals magnesium zinc and iron?

What metal will react with oxygen but not water?
Metal reacting with oxygen is known as oxidation. A common form of this process is found in the rusting of iron, where the iron reacts with oxygen to form iron oxide (known as rust).
Do iron and magnesium oxide react chemically?
Iron and magnesium oxide can react chemically to form iron(II) oxide and magnesium metal. The reaction occurs when iron is heated with magnesium oxide in a high temperature environment, leading to the transfer of oxygen from magnesium oxide to iron.
Does magnesium react with iron chloride?
yes! it does because magnesium is higher in reactivity series than iron , so the magnesium atom would displace or push out the iron atom from the compound and join with chloride, leaving the pure iron out of the compound Mg + FeCl2 -- MgCl2 + Fe
Is argon or magnesium more reactive with oxygen?
Argon is a Non-Reactive Element. Magnesium is a very Reactive Element. Magnesium will react violently when ignited in an Oxygen rich environment.
What is magnesium reactive with?
Magnesium is reactive with oxygen, water, and acids. It can react vigorously with oxygen to form magnesium oxide, with water to form magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas, and with acids to form magnesium salts and hydrogen gas.
What do you get when you react magnesium wth oxygen and heat?
magnesium oxide (MgO)
Would magnesium and iron nitrate react?
No, as magnesium is more reactive, and would 'keep' the nitrate.
Does iron react with magnesium nitrate?
No.
What does magnesium react with when burnt?
Oxygen in the air (O2)
What is the reaction if magnesium react with oxygen?
Nothing :0
