Magnesium will react with an acidic solution, (to form H2 gas) at a faster rate than with neutral water, but there is a reaction with water, it is just so slow that only a few bubbles of H2 gas will appear on the surface of the magnesium after around 5 minutes. To increase the rate of the reaction with water, react red hot magnesium with water in the form of steam.

What else can I help you with?
What gas was produced when water is being added to Magnesium Oxide?
When water is added to magnesium oxide, magnesium hydroxide is produced. This reaction also releases heat.
How do you store magnesium ribbon to stop it from turning into magnesium oxide?
usually at school we store it in oil but ts a non flamable oil as it reacts with the oxygen in the air causing the chemical reaction changing it to magnesium hydroxide so you will need to keep in a clear container in oil or just in a container that is air tight and never store it in water as it has a high raction and burns in water
What type of reaction is Mg O2MgO?
Thermal decomposition. MgCO3(s) ==heat==> MgO + CO2
What is result if a piece of magnesium ribbon burn and place the white ash in 5ml of water in a test tube with a red litmus paper?
The result would be that the white ash of magnesium ribbon reacts with water to form magnesium hydroxide, which will turn the red litmus paper blue due to the basic nature of the resulting solution.
Why does magnesium react slowly with water?
Magnesium reacts slowly with water because it has a protective oxide layer on its surface that inhibits the reaction. This oxide layer serves as a barrier, preventing water from coming into direct contact with the magnesium metal and slowing down the reaction rate.
What happen to nitric acid after magnesium ribbon was placed?
When magnesium ribbon is placed in nitric acid, a chemical reaction occurs where magnesium reacts with the nitric acid to form magnesium nitrate, water, and nitric oxide gas. The magnesium ribbon dissolves and bubbles form as the gas is produced.
What changes considered as oxidation reduction reaction burning of magnesium ribbon or electrolysis of water?
both reactions are redox reactions
What is produce when adding burnt Mg ribbon to water?
The burned magnesium ribbon is primarily magnesium oxide, which reacts with water to form magnesium hydroxide according to the equation MgO + H2O => Mg(OH)2.
How can you collect hydrogen coming from a chemical reaction of magnesium ribbon and hydrochloric acid?
First of all, place bits of the magnesium into a test tube. Then pour the acid into the tube, in the meantime locking the tube with a balloon. Tighten it up and theres your stored hydrogen :)
What gas is produced by mixing calcium and water and Magnesium ribbon and water?
Hydrogen gas is produced.
Does magnesium react with water?
When magnesium touches water it has a very small reaction hardly noticeable
What product does the reaction between magnesium hydroxide and sulfuric acid yield?
Magnesium hydroxide and Sulphuric acid will combine to give Magnesium sulphate and water: Mg(OH)2 + H2SO4 ---> MgSO4 + 2H2O
Chemical reaction involved in the preparation of magnesium citrate oral solution?
Magnesium citrate oral solution is prepared by reacting magnesium oxide or magnesium carbonate with citric acid in water, which forms magnesium citrate. The reaction involves the magnesium compound reacting with the citric acid to form magnesium citrate salt and water. The resulting magnesium citrate salt is then dissolved in water to create the oral solution.
What are the products of the reaction between magnesium and water?
The product is magnesium oxide (MgO) when magnesium reacts with oxygen.2Mg(s) + O2(g) --> 2MgO(s)magnesium + oxygen --> magnesium oxide
If hydrogen flouride reacts with magnesium hydroxide the prouct of the reaction are water and what flouride?
The reaction between hydrogen fluoride and magnesium hydroxide forms water and magnesium fluoride as the products.
What gas was produced when water is being added to Magnesium Oxide?
When water is added to magnesium oxide, magnesium hydroxide is produced. This reaction also releases heat.
Write the word equation for the reaction between magnesium carbonate and sulfuric acid?
The word equation for the reaction between magnesium carbonate and sulfuric acid is Magnesium Carbonate + Hyrdocholric Acid > Magnesum Chloride + Carbon Dioxide + Water.
