Why we clean magnesium ribbon before burn in air |
|
Answer» Magnesium ribbon is used to remove the protective layer of magnesium oxide from the surface so that it may readily combine with the oxygen of air. Magnesium ribbon is a very reactive metal. When stored it reacts with oxygen to form a layer of magnesium oxide on its surface. This layer of magnesium oxide being a stable compound prevents further reaction of magnesium with oxygen. The magnesium is cleaned before burning in air to remove this layer so that the metal can be exposed to air properly. Yes ✅ We clean magnesium ribbon before burn in air, to remove the oxide layer formed over it. |
