Asian Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Anyone know the chemical formula for when you heat a piece of magnesium ribbon??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
encipher Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 In an ideal environment, magnesium would burn in oxygen according the the following balanced equation: [ce] 2Mg + O2 -> 2MgO + Heat [/ce] But normally, when magnesium is burned in air, which contains a lot of nitrogen, it forms some magnesium nitride: [ce] 3Mg + N2 -> Mg3N2 [/ce] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asian Posted December 14, 2006 Author Share Posted December 14, 2006 i was just thinking right now...... what would be the product if you were to heat copper sulfate pentahydrate?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
encipher Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 At first, it would begin to dehydrate, turning into a off-white colored solid (anhydrous copper (II) sulfate). Then it would begin to decompose. (It decomposes before melting) It would form the following products: Copper (II) Oxide: CuO Sulfur Dioxide : SO2 Oxygen : O2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
