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.
See the Web Links to the left for more information about the activity series.
When magnesium ribbon is placed in hot water, it begins to react with water, producing magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The hydrogen gas forms bubbles that attach to the magnesium ribbon, making it less dense than water. As a result, the magnesium ribbon starts to float due to the buoyant force exerted by the water. This phenomenon illustrates the principles of gas production during a chemical reaction and buoyancy.
The worded equation for the reaction between magnesium and distilled water is: magnesium reacts with water to produce magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. In chemical terms, this can be represented as: magnesium + water → magnesium hydroxide + hydrogen. This reaction typically occurs slowly at room temperature, but can be more vigorous with increased heat.
When water is added to magnesium oxide, magnesium hydroxide is produced. This reaction also releases heat.
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
Thermal decomposition. MgCO3(s) ==heat==> MgO + CO2

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.
both reactions are redox reactions
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 :)
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.
Hydrogen gas is produced.
When magnesium touches water it has a very small reaction hardly noticeable
Magnesium hydroxide and Sulphuric acid will combine to give Magnesium sulphate and water: Mg(OH)2 + H2SO4 ---> MgSO4 + 2H2O
The worded equation for the reaction between magnesium and distilled water is: magnesium reacts with water to produce magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. In chemical terms, this can be represented as: magnesium + water → magnesium hydroxide + hydrogen. This reaction typically occurs slowly at room temperature, but can be more vigorous with increased heat.
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.
The product is magnesium oxide (MgO) when magnesium reacts with oxygen.2Mg(s) + O2(g) --> 2MgO(s)magnesium + oxygen --> magnesium oxide
The reaction between hydrogen fluoride and magnesium hydroxide forms water and magnesium fluoride as the products.
