weiming1998 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Why would you put magnesium ribbons in sprite? That's a waste of magnesium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weiming1998 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Ok then? Is this homework or some study you have to do? Well, I'll tell you this: 1, Magnesium reacts with acids (with water too, but slowly) to form a salt (it forms magnesium hydroxide in water) and hydrogen. Sprite contains CO2 in the form of carbonic acid and a mix of organic acids. 2, Bicarbonate liberates large amounts of CO2 on contact with acidic liquids.
