Chemical Formula

[Asian]

Anyone know the chemical formula for when you heat a piece of magnesium ribbon???

[encipher]

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]

i was just thinking right now......

 

what would be the product if you were to heat copper sulfate pentahydrate??

[encipher]

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
