Question

Complete the following equation

Magnasium + Oxyzen =? ​

Answer 1

Magnesium + Oxyzen = Magnesium oxide.

Answer 2

• $\sf\purple{ \: Magnesium + Oxygen \implies \: Magnesium \: Oxide}$

Let's check whether what happens when Magnesium react with oxygen( In details) !

• Hold a magnesium ribbon with a pair of tongs and ignite it. Magnesium ribbon burns with a bright white light and forms a white powder. The powder formed is Magnesium Oxide.

$\sf\green { \: 2Mg(s) + O_2(g) \implies 2MgO(s)}$

$\sf\pink{ \: Magnesium + Oxygen \implies \: Magnesium \: Oxide}$

Collect the Product and mix it in water. Dip a stripe of Red Litmus Paper in the solution. We will observe The Red Litmus Paper turns into Blue, indicating this is an Alkaline Solution.

$\sf \purple{\: MgO(s) + H_2O (l) \implies Mg(OH)_2}$

$\sf \green{\: Magnesium \: Oxide + W ater \implies Magnesium hydroxide}$

This activity shows that Magnesium react with oxygen to form Magnesium Oxide which are Basic in nature.
