Why is water added to The Crucible in order to complete the conversion to magnesium oxide?
Water is added to the crucible to convert magnesium (Mg) to magnesium oxide (Mg(OH)2) because when magnesium reactions with air, it also reacts with the nitrogen (N2) in the air to form magnesium nitride (Mg3N2).3 Mg + N2 --> Mg3N2By adding water to the crucible containing the magnesium nitride, the magnesium nitride will become magnesium hydroxide. The ammonia gas produced will rise out of the crucible, eliminating the nitrogen.Mg3N2 + H2O --> 3Mg(OH)2 + 2NH3After heating the magnesium hydroxide, the product becomes just magnesium oxide.3Mg(OH)2 + heat --> MgO + H2OIn other words, when water is added, the nitrogen will react with the water, causing it to form ammonia and thus evaporating from the substance. This leaves behind the magnesium hydroxide, which becomes magnesium oxide and water after it is heated.
How tp prepare magnesium acetate?
when a piece of Magnesium is added to acetic acid bubbles of H2 gas are produced and solution becomes milky now evaporate the excess acid and water by heating and get solid Magnesium acetate.
What is the name or formula the gas evolved in heating of potassium chlorate?
Oxygen
What s the formula f the predicted product from heating potassium metal an powdered phosphorus?
K3P, potassium phosphide. This is the one that is most likely to be predicted. It contains the P3- ion. Note that potassium actually has nine binary phosphides , (K3P, K4P3, K5P4, KP, K4P6 K3P7, K3P11, KP10.3, KP15 Before heat the metal and phosphorus (under vacuum and with extreme care) I would weigh out the reactants in exactly the correct proportions to minimise the potassium rich or phosphorus rich compounds.
How do you mix nitrogen with oxygen to form nitrous oxide?
nitrous oxide is manufactured by heating ammonia nitrate which decomposes into N2O and water vapor
What happens when you mix nitrogen and magnesium?
magnesium nitride (Mg3N2) is formed upon heating magnesium and nitrogen.
Is magnesium combined with other elements?
Magnesium on heating reacts with oxygen and halogens but it also reacts with nitrogen.
When magnesium is added to a jar of nitrogen what happens?
Nothing, no reaction without heating.
What is the predicted general formula for the compound formed between an alkali metal and sulfur?
what is the formula of the predicted product from heating cadmium metal and powdered sulfur
Does magnesium react with nitric acid?
Yes, forming the salt Magnesium nitrate and hydrogen gas. The reaction forms Magnesium Nitrate and hydrogen gas Mg + 2HNO3 --> Mg(NO3)2 + H2 Heating magnesium nitrate hexahydrate decomposes it into magnesium oxide, oxygen, and nitrogen oxides. 2 Mg(NO3)2 → 2 MgO + 4 NO2 + O2
What happens when heating a magnet?
it will loose its magnesium
What happens when heating magnesium hydroxide?
The magnesium oxide (MgO) is obtained and water vapours released.
What is the boiling point of magnesium sulfate in degrees Celsius?
Magnesium sulfate is thermally decomposed by heating.
Why cant magnesium chloride be separated from its crystalline form by just heating it?
The energy you're putting in by heating is less than the energy that holds the Magnesium to the chloride ion.

What are all the elements that nitrogen bonds with?
Aluminium,titanium, zirconium,calcium,silicon. There may be some others.
Is a white solid obtained by heating magnesium a mixture an element or compound?
It is a compound.
