946 Questions
What are the products when magnesium reacts with sulfuric acid?
The products of a neutralization reaction are a salt and water.
How many valence electrons does magnesium sulfate have?
As magnesium sulfate is an ionic compound, it creates an ionic lattice. Therefore it doesn't exist as seperate molecules.
What is the flashpoint for magnesium?
The flashpoint for magnesium is 610°C (1130°F). Magnesium is highly flammable and can ignite at relatively low temperatures. Special precautions should be taken when handling magnesium to prevent fires.
What is the word equation for magnesium and water?
word equation : magnesium + water --> magnesium hydroxide + hydrogen
chemical equation : Mg + 2H2O → Mg(OH)2 + H2
What bond does magnesium and chlorine make?
An ionic bond. A typical metal - non-metal compound.
Magnesium (Mg) reacts with Bromine (Br2) to form Magnesium Bromide (MgBr2) which has an ionic formula of Mg2+ (Br-)2.
Where is the lowest electronegativity barium calcium magnesium or strontium?
Both are ions and we should consider the ionic radius, not the atomic radius.
Rubidium ion (Rb+) will have a larger IONIC radius than strontium ion (Sr2+).
Both ions have the same electronic configuration. But strontium ion has more number of protons in the nucleus. Hence it will have greater force of attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons, resulting in smaller size.
How much milk of magnesia should you give a 2 year old?
ASk your doc about it...no one knows at the moment.
Is a magnesium metal a catalyst?
Iron is one of the magnetic metal. It is used as a catalyst in Haber process to produce ammonia N2 + 3H2 ----------- 2NH3
Which one would have smaller atomic size sodium or magnesium?
Both Mg and Na have the same outer energy level (shell). Mg has one proton more than NA and one electron more. The charge on th eouter shell the effective nuclear charge is reduced by the inner core electrons, which are the ame in both cases So the pull experienced by the valence electrons towards the nucleus is more in the case of Mg than Na. Hence Mg has slightly smaller size (radius) than Na.
no magnesium is not harmful and magnesium is good for your kidneys
What are Symptoms of Too much magnesium?
It can cause anxiety agitation and risk of heart attack and stroke!
Is milk of magnesia a polyatomic ion?
Magnesium is an atom; but as an atom magnesium has 3 stable isotopes and ca. 18 artificial isotopes. And in solutions magnesium exist as the cation Mg2+. Therefore magnesium is atom, has isotopes and also can be ion.
magnesium is a purply substance. Although when this substance is burned with oxygen it becomes Magnesium Oxide. This chemical then turns into a black liquidy colour. The word equation for this experiment is: magnesium + Oxygen = Magnesium Oxide
What happens when an magnesium atom forms an ion?
To become an ion, an atom of magnesium (or anything else) will gain or lose one or more electrons. This will create an imbalance between the number of protons in its nucleus and the number of electrons it is "holding onto" in the electron cloud.
Why is conductivity increasing across the periodic table from sodium to magnesium to aluminium?
Aluminium has a greater number of electron shells and larger atomic radius, meaning that its pull on its outer electrons is less, meaning that they can flow more easily. Also, it has more electrons on its outer shell (3, rather than 1 or 2) meaning that there are more electrons to flow.
What type of bonding is between magnesium and hydrochloric acid?
Hydrogen chloride has a covalent bond.
Why is magnesium iodide more covalent than magnesium chloride?
Magnesium iodide is more covalent than magnesium chloride because iodine is a larger atom with more electron-electron repulsion between its electrons, making it easier for iodine to share electrons with magnesium in a covalent bond. This results in a more even sharing of electrons between magnesium and iodine, leading to a more covalent character in magnesium iodide compared to magnesium chloride.
What do plants use magnesium ions to make?
Magnesium is found in chlorophyll and this kind of pigment have a porphyrin ring associated with the protein.
Do magnesium and copper sulphate react?
No. This is a redox question. It is asking whether the reaction will occur spontaneously. In order for Mg+2 to spontaneously oxidize Cu(s), Mg+2 needs to have a higher reduction potential (the tendency to be reduced) than Cu+2. Check a redox table to see:
Mg2+ + 2 e− --> Mg(s) E° = −2.372
Cu2+ + 2 e− --> Cu(s) E° = +0.340 (More favorable reaction)
Cu2+ has a higher reduction potential, meaning Mg2+ will not oxidize Cu(s).
