Elementary Productions: Burning of Magnesium and properties
Magnesium turnings are placed in a crucible. The turnings are ignited by the use of Magnesium ribbon. Properties of burning Magnesium and reaction products are demonstrated.

@mabakken Don’t some powders become very volatile around heat sources? I’ve heard of a custard powder factory exploding due to a spark.
i wonder if you could use it as a flare of sum kind
lab coat reflection for the win
Anything that cuts off the supply to Oxygen, such as sand or any other dry powder.
wait a minute if water doesnt extinguish it… then what does?
what’s the gas that comes out of the magnesium strip when it’s burning? is that just MgO as a gas or something?
@juicyjennna because of all the photons that was released, since when the magnesium was heated it got excited and jumped to a higher energy level and when it was coming back to its ground state it emitted a bright light
i’m form portugal
get it from galiumsource . com
that’s because you didn’t have a crucible filled with magnesium turnings. Copper burns with a geenish blue colour.
luv the experiment maybe you could tell me how and why it happens.
its my homework
u can get blocks of it at walmart.There in the camping section.like a flint used to start fires.
Strange, last time I tried burning magnesium in science class it went some sort of greenish blue rather than white. Must have oxidized.
why is the magnesium ribbon black? Isn’t magnesium a silvery metal?
It’s interesting to watch the camera try and compensate for the light changes.

eBay or equivalent
i got ammonia in my nose once;/ sniffed at a broken bag and i got nosebleed
I want buy magnesium! where i can get it?
Thank you for sharing this video, it is exactly what I need to introduce my students about chemical reactions !
Woow! that was awesome! now i know more why i am studying farmaceutical chemistry.
YOur vids are awesome.
cool vid man, keep it up *thumbs up*
Ammonia is 10 on the pH scale (basic), and it’s also toxic. To those retards who think ammonia is a drink, you are dead wrong. Ammonia is highly poisonous, while drain cleaner is both poisonous and caustic (burns skin on contact).
yes i meant that :d
oops I meant [Cu(NH3)4](2+)
If you also have HNO3 at home, you can do the experiment too: Just dissolve some Cu wire in HNO3 (beware of the NO2 fumes!), dilute it with min. double amount of water (color should change from green to blue), then slowly add some NH3 (be careful, neutralization reaction is very vigorous!)
