Magnesium

"Magnesium is a chemical element with the atomic number 12 and the symbol Mg. This alkaline earth metal is one of the most abundant elements, the eighth most abundant element in the Earth’s crust and ninth in the universe as a whole."

946 Questions

How were the symbols magnesium and manganese formed?

Magnesium and manganese were formed through stellar nucleosynthesis, where nuclear fusion reactions inside stars convert lighter elements into heavier elements. Both magnesium and manganese were likely formed in supernova explosions, where the intense energy and pressure allowed for the synthesis of these elements.

Is magnesium inert?

Magnesium rapidly combines with many different elements, and violently reacts with hydrogen chloride. The last word I would use to describe it is inert.

Look to the right side of the periodic table for gases and elements that are inert.

Black coffee has a pH of 5 and milk magnesia has a pH of 10 Is coffee twice as acididc as milk of magnesia?

Coffee is acidic. Milk of magnesia is basic. A neutral pH is 7.

pH is logarithmic, so a pH of 5 is 10 times more acid than a pH of 6.

since coffee is 2 less than 7 and milk of magnesia is 3 more than 7 it takes 1 part milk of magnesia to 10 parts coffee to neutralize each other.

Will Phillips milk of magnesia help acne?

For many people they have found this to be a great solution. I myself have had benefits from using MOM on my face. I use it as a mask generally. You take a cotton ball or tissue dab a good amount on your skin and let it dry. After 10 minutes or so, wash off and moisturize. You could also use it as a spot treatment, just dabbing on troubled areas. It really depends what type of skin you have to begin with. Mine is naturally oily so I can do the treatment more often than someone who has drier skin. It works in drying up excess oil in the skin as one of the benefits. I hope it is successful for you too!

What is the formula for magnesium perbromate?

The chemical formula for magnesium perbromate is Mg(BrO4)2.

What happens to the mass of magnesium when heated?

When magnesium is heated, it undergoes a chemical reaction with oxygen in the air to form magnesium oxide. The total mass remains the same since no mass is lost or gained during a chemical reaction.

Determination of magnesium in tap water?

Magnesium in tap water can be determined through various analytical techniques such as atomic absorption spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy, or colorimetric methods. These methods involve complexation reactions with specific reagents or instruments that can detect magnesium ions in the water sample. The specific method chosen will depend on the sensitivity required and the available equipment.

What is the objective of color changing milk of magnesia?

The objective of color-changing milk of magnesia is to show the pH level of a solution. By adding a color indicator that changes color at different pH levels to the milk of magnesia, you can visually see the acidity or alkalinity of the solution. This can help demonstrate concepts related to acids and bases.

One mole magnesium in grams?

The atomic mass (also known as atomic weight, though less correctly so) of magnesium represents how many grams are in one mole of magnesium, as is the case with all elements. In short, the atomic mass of magnesium is 24.3050, therefore there are 24.3050 grams of magnesium per mole.

What is magnesium chelate?

Magnesium is a naturally occurring mineral. Magnesium is important for many systems in the body especially the muscles and nerves. Magnesium amino acids chelate is used as a supplement to maintain adequate magnesium in the body.

What is the balanced equation of magnesium iodide?

Magnesium is a group 2 metal and Iodine is group 7 so MgI2 because Mg needs to loose 2 electrons to gain a full outer shell and Iodine only wants 1 electron so there needs to be 2 Iodine atoms.

Is it normal to have diarrhea 24 hrs after taking milk of magnesia?

Yes, it is possible to experience diarrhea as a side effect of taking milk of magnesia, especially if it was taken in higher doses. If the diarrhea persists or becomes severe, it is recommended to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

What are the oxidation numbers of magnesium in magnesium dichromate?

In compounds, magnesium has a +2 oxidation state; in most but not quite all compounds, oxygen has a -2 oxidation state. In peroxides, oxygen has a -1 oxidation state. In oxygen fluorides, oxygen has positive oxidation states.

Is magnesium magnetic?

No it is not.

Magnesium has no unpaired electrons. To be magnetic, a metal must have at least one unpaired electron (i.e., a spin up electron without a corresponding spin down electron). In general, response to a magnetic field is a property of electron spin.
The confusion comes from the similarity between the two words. Here is a citation by Peter von der Krogt from Elementymology and Elements Multidict:
The names magnesia alba and magnesia nigra are derived from Magnesia, Μαγνησια,a prefecture in Thessaly (Greece)… Manganese and Magnesium were abundant in oxide and carbonate ores in this region, and they therefore became referred as Μαγνητις λιθος, or stones from Magnesia. The region also contained large amounts of iron oxides (magnetite, or lodestone, for example) so that the ores were magnetized. That explains why magnesium as well as magnet (and magnetism) are derived from Magnesia, while magnesium is not magnetic.

Family for magnesium?

Magnesium belongs to the alkaline earth metals family on the periodic table. It is found in Group 2, which is the second column from the left on the periodic table. Magnesium is known for its high reactivity and is commonly used in various industrial and biological applications.

What is one of the characteristics of magnesium?

One characteristic of magnesium is that it is a lightweight metal with a high strength-to-weight ratio, making it an ideal material for applications requiring both strength and low weight, such as in the aerospace industry.

Is magnesium a liquid?

Magnesium is a solid metal at room temperature; it does have a liquid phase (pretty much everything does, at the right combination of temperature and pressure) but in order to obtain liquid magnesium you would have to heat it in the absence of oxygen (or water) since it will otherwise burn up rather than melt, when it is heated.

Please help me The balance formula MgSo4 2NaOH MgOH Na2SO4 125 g of MgSO4 115 g of NaOH what is the mass of milk of magnesia MgOH2 produced?

2 NaOH + MgSO4-----Mg(OH)2+Na2SO4

1 MOLE OF MgSO4 produce one mole of Mg(OH)2

SO

1 MWT OF MgSO4 PRODUCE1MWT OF Mg(OH)2

HENCE

120 GM MgSO4 PRODUCE 58 gm OF Mg(OH)2

and so on if

x gm of MgSO4 PRODUCE y gm OF Mg(OH)2

x=(120*y)/58

Is Milk of magnesia a safe laxative?

milk of magnesia is used as a laxative to relieve occasional constipation.

You should not use milk of magnesia as a laxative if you have abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting, unless directed by a doctor.

Is magnesium metal and magnesium ribbon the same?

Yes. Magnesium ribbon is magnesium metal in the shape of a ribbon.

When does magnesium melt at?

Magnesium has a melting point of 1,202 degrees Fahrenheit (650 degrees Celsius). At this temperature, solid magnesium transforms into a liquid state.
