How bright is burning magnesium?

Magnesium will burn readily if it is in thin slices, powdered or slivered. In thicker, bar form, it resists burning much better. However, if you happen to get a thick piece of magnesium burning, it is impossible to extinguish without a "type-D" fire extinguisher (used specifically for magnesium fires and nothing else). A thick piece of magnesium will burn for a long, long time.


Does the presence of ice make magnesium burn hotter?

Does nitrogen stop magnesium from burning?

Yes, nitrogen can prevent magnesium from burning by displacing the oxygen needed for combustion. Nitrogen creates an inert environment that inhibits the oxidation of magnesium, thus preventing it from catching fire.


What is the aim of the burning magnesium experiment?

The aim of the burning magnesium experiment is to demonstrate the intense, bright white light produced when magnesium metal combusts in air. The experiment is often used to showcase the principle of combustion and the high reactivity of magnesium with oxygen.


Why does a sparkler burn top to bottom?

Aha! A sparkler burns top to bottom only because you light the top. If you lit the bottom, it would burn bottom to top. If you lit the middle, it would burn both directions from the middle.
