Heating magnesium can cause it to ignite and burn brightly. This is because magnesium is highly combustible and reacts vigorously with oxygen in the air, producing heat and light in the process. Care should be taken when handling and heating magnesium to avoid accidents.

Is heat gven out or taken in from the surroundings when the magnesium ribbon burns in oxygen?

It is given out. If it were taken in, magnesium would not continue to burn when heat were removed.


When you heat magnesium carbonate what solid does it give?

Magnesium!!!

Is magnesium a heat energy or a light energy?

Ignited magnesium is both heat and light energy.


Is magnesium shiny and does it conduct heat and electricity?

Magnesium would only be shiny in a freshly cut surface. It quickly oxidizes with a film of protective oxide rapidly forming. In this condition it would look grey. It does conduct both heat and electricity.

What do you get when you react magnesium wth oxygen and heat?

magnesium oxide (MgO)


What type of reaction is Mg O2MgO?

Thermal decomposition. MgCO3(s) ==heat==> MgO + CO2


Is magnesium conductors?

Magnesium has many states, for example Magnesium Choride, or Magnesium carbonate. Magnesium has been experimented with as a Non Heat Conductor successfully using Magnesium Carbonate, and is also potentially argued as a lightweight form of heat resistant coating. Magnesium itself however, as Magnesium ribbon demonstrates, is highly flammable under direct flame, and reacts by giving off extremely bright light and heat, when in flame.


Does magnesium give off heat when it burns?

Yes, when magnesium burns, it reacts with oxygen to form magnesium oxide and releases heat in the process. The heat generated during this exothermic reaction is what causes the bright white light observed when magnesium burns.


What if sulfuric acid and magnesium metal were put togetherwhat would happen?

When sulfuric acid and magnesium metal are combined, a chemical reaction occurs where hydrogen gas is released. This reaction is exothermic, which means it releases heat. The magnesium metal dissolves in the sulfuric acid, forming magnesium sulfate and hydrogen gas.


Is this equation correct Magnesium Hydroxide heat up will give Magnesium Phosphate plus water?

No - phosphorous can not just appear.Heating magnesium hydroxide will give magnesium oxide and water.
