A student while burning a magnesium ribbon in air, collected the products in a wet watch glass. The new product obtained was :(a) Magnesium oxide(b) Magnesium carbonate(c) Magnesium hydroxide(d) Magnesium chloride

Answer»

Correct answer is (c) Magnesium hydroxide

\(\underset{\text{Magnesium ribbon}}{2Mg} + \underset{\text{oxygen}}{O_2}\) \(\overset{\text{burn}}{\longrightarrow}\, \underset{\text{Magnesium oxide}}{2MgO}\)

due to, wet watch glass, MgO reacts with H2O and form magnesium hydroxide -

\(MgO\, + H_2O\, \longrightarrow \, \underset {\text{Magnesium Hydroxide}}{Mg(OH)_2}\)
