What happen to the original magnesium after it has been burned?

If completely burnt (in excess of oxygen), all the magnesium will be converted to magnesium oxide.


Is magnesium oxide a metal or non metal?

magnesium is neather a metal nor a non metal. instead it was discovered on the moon in 1899 on the first space walk. since then it has been used to build flame resistant bridges and the 2010 aero sun probe.


What does a magnesium strip look like before it is burnt?

A magnesium strip is typically a thin, silver-colored metal strip that is flexible and can be easily bent or shaped. It may have a shiny surface and may appear slightly dull due to oxidation on its surface, depending on how it has been stored.

no no


Does magnesium react with the gases in your atmosphere?

HI what a retard who would rite hi? lol Magnesium metal is burned in air forming magnesium oxide. This is an interesting oxidation/reduction reaction because it shows the burning of a metal, because the products of the reaction are visible after wards, and because it produces a lot of light.at


What happens when magnesium ribbon is burnt in air?

Magnesium is an extremely reactive metal. When stored, it reacts with oxygen to form a layer of magnesium oxide on its surface. This layer of magnesium oxide is quite stable and prevents further reaction of magnesium with oxygen. The magnesium ribbon is cleaned by sand paper for removing this layer so that the underlying metal can be exposed to air.


What does magnesium combined with malic acid make?

Yes - if there is water present too. Acids dissociate in water: [AH] <--> [A]- + H+ So when malic acid is dissolved in water, you get [malate]- + H+ The general formula for acid/metal reactions is Acid + metal --> metal salt + hydrogen gas. If you pour the malic acid solution over magnesium metal, it will bubble (hydrogen gas produced) and magnesium malate (salt) will be formed. Magnesium malate has been reported to be effective in the treatment of fibromyalgia. If you just pour dry malic acid crystals onto magnesium metal, absolutely nothing will happen.


What are magnesium turnings?

According to the chemist I spoke to at Flinn supply company, a magnesium turning is a small, thin, curled piece of magnesium, like you would get if you were shaving small strips of wood off of a bigger piece.


What is compound is formed when a metal reacts with oxygen?

It depends on which metal you are using?Iron + Oxygen = Iron OxideMagnesium + Oxygen = Magnesium OxideAluminium + Oxygen = Aluminium OxideSee, just add the metal name in front of "OXIDE"I hope this answer has been of much use.


Why does the mass of magnesium sulfate decrease when heated?

It does not decrease in mass, only weight, the mass is still all there, but as when it has been heated smoke is given off from the element, and goes into the atmosphere. It may not sound like the mass is all there with the heated element, but if the smoke were conserved during the experiment the weight would be the same as before the experiment.


What is a candle wick called after it is burnt?

A candle wick that has been burnt is called a "spent wick."


What type of chemical reaction is magnesium oxide?

Magnesium Oxide is a compound, not a reaction. However if you are talking about making magnesium oxide from its individual elements, that would be a redox reaction. In this reaction, magnesium is going from a zero oxidation state to a +2 oxidation state. If you think of the acronym OIL RIG (Oxidation Is Lost Reduction Is Gained) Magnesium is being oxidized as it has lost two electrons. As well, the oxygen is gaining two electrons to have a -2 charge and is therefore being reduced hence the term redox.
