Is magnesium an igneous rock?
No. Magnesium is not a rock; it is a metallic element. It is present in some of the minerals found in igneous rocks. It does not occur naturally in its elemental form.
What is the percentage of elemental magnesium in magnesium stearate?
Magnesium stearate is composed of approximately 6-8% magnesium. The rest of the compound is made up of stearic acid, which accounts for the remaining 92-94% of the substance.
Elemental calcium and magnesium metal are shiny when they are pure if the metals you worked with were not shiny explain why this was so?
They were exposed to and reacted with oxygen in the air.
How much elemental magnesium is in a bottle of magnesium citrate?
290mg per Fl Oz according to the bottle in my medicine cabinet.
Is magnesium an element or compound?
Magnesium is an element.it is a compound as it is made up of two elements
What is the oxidation number of magnesium?
0 in elemental form, +2 in all its compounds.
What is the physical property of magnesium?
Elemental magnesium is a strong, silvery-white, light-weight metal (two thirds the density of aluminium).
Is magnesium an igneous rock?
No. Magnesium is not a rock; it is a metallic element. It is present in some of the minerals found in igneous rocks. It does not occur naturally in its elemental form.
How the element magnesium relates to your daily lives?
Alloys of elemental magnesium are often used to make lightweight luggage and some aircraft; magnesium chloride is often used to deice roads; and magnesium hydroxide is a common antacid/laxative.
What compounds are in MgS?
MgS IS a compound!!!! I think you mean , what elemental atoms are in 'MgS'. They are magnesium (Mg) and sulphur (S). MgS is the compound magnesium sulphide.
What is the percentage of elemental magnesium in magnesium stearate?
Magnesium stearate is composed of approximately 6-8% magnesium. The rest of the compound is made up of stearic acid, which accounts for the remaining 92-94% of the substance.
What is the theory yield of magnesium chloride when 5.6 grams of magnesium is reacted with elemental chlorine there is an excess of elemental chlorine the 5.60g magnesium is the limiting reactant?
magnesium + chlorine --> magnesium chloride Mg (s) + Cl2 (g) --> MgCl2 (s) 5.60 g Mg x 1 mol Mg x 1 mol MgCl2 x 95.21 g MgCl2 = 21.9 g MgCl2 ..................24.31 g Mg. 1 mol Mg........ 1 mol MgCl2
Does magnesium burn in the absence of oxygen?
Magnesium can burn in the absence of elemental oxygen, yes. This is because it is such a strong reducing agent that it can essentially steal oxygen from substances such as water and carbon dioxide.
Why Mg ribbon continuous to burn in Co2?
Magnesium is a strong enough reducer to "steal" oxygen from other compounds such as carbon dioxide. magnesium reacts with CO2 to produce magnesium oxide and elemental carbon. 2Mg + CO2 --> 2MgO + C
What is the oxidation number of an atom with 12 protons?
The element is magnesium with +2 the oxidation number in its compounds and 0 in the elemental form
Elemental calcium and magnesium metal are shiny when they are pure if the metals you worked with were not shiny explain why this was so?
They were exposed to and reacted with oxygen in the air.
What is the chemical reaction of zinc sulphate and magnesium?
Zn(s) + MgSO4(aq) → ZnSO4(aq) + Mg(s) In this reaction, the zinc atoms in the solid zinc (Zn) displace the magnesium ions (Mg2+) in magnesium sulfate (MgSO4), forming zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) in the solution and depositing solid magnesium (Mg). It's important to note that this reaction typically occurs in an aqueous solution, where the zinc and magnesium sulfate are dissolved. In a dry or solid-state, magnesium sulfate and zinc do not undergo a direct reaction with each other.
