Please Tell difference between Magnesium oxide and Calcium oxide woth a suitable Chemical test.
Answers
Answer:
here is your answer
Explanation:
To distinguish between both the oxide you can simply react both the oxides with water and see the changes.
Calcium oxide reacts with water to form calcium hydroxide, also called slaked lime. A lot of heat (exothermic reaction) is produced in the reaction, which may even cause the water to boil. There is a strong exothermic reaction. CaO +H2O -> Ca(OH)2.
Magnesium oxide is only very slightly soluble in water – so it won't be obvious that a small amount has dissolved – but if you now test the liquid with an indicator, it will give an alkaline reaction, showing that at least some Mg(OH)2, magnesium hydroxide, has been formed.

Answer:
Magnesium oxide is a type of magnesium mineral supplement that is mostly made of magnesium—it actually contains more magnesium than other magnesium supplements. Magnesium oxide is acquired by burning magnesium with pure oxygen, but this method is quite costly.
