Answer 2

The physical properties of magnesium oxide;

Appearance:

Magnesium oxide is hygroscopic. Hygroscopic substances absorb water molecules spontaneously when exposed to air. A familiar compound that exhibits this property is sugar. Magnesium oxide's physical state at room temperature is a white, odorless powder.

pH and Solubility:

Magnesium oxide has a high pH of 10.3, meaning it is very basic. This makes it a great antacid since it can neutralize stomach acid in an upset stomach. Magnesium oxide is slightly soluble in water at 0.0086 g of powder per 100 mL of water.

Melting Point and Boiling Point:

This compound has an extremely high melting point at 5,072 degrees Fahrenheit and a high boiling point at 6,512 degrees Fahrenheit.

Safety Information:

Magnesium oxide is noncombustible and is a relatively safe chemical with a National Fire Protection Association rating of 1. Exposure to magnesium oxide can have some potential side effects including eye irritation and nose irritation. If you inhale it, go out to get fresh air.
