Reaction of magnesium with oxygen

Answer 1

Magnesium is a reactive metal in groupe two of the periodic table and reacts with oxygen gas in group six to produce Magnesium Oxide.

The reaction is as follows:

2Mg + O2 gives 2MgO

Answer 2

When magnesium reacts with oxygen, it forms magnesium oxide (MgO). This reaction is exothermic, releasing a significant amount of heat. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: 2Mg + O2 -> 2MgO.

Answer 3

Magnesium is a reactive metal in group two of the Periodic Table and reacts with O2 in group six to produce Magnesium Oxide. The reaction is as follows: 2Mg + O2 gives 2MgO

Answer 4

2Mg + O2 -> 2MgO - violent reaction giving off intense white light and MgO as "smoke" - take care if doing this - some expensive car wheels are made of Magnesium alloy!!

Answer 5

replacement reaction
