Experiments with magnesium ribbon
Short pieces cut from the roll are used for:
- Burning in air: the ribbon burns with a dazzling white flame and leaves a white powder of magnesium oxide, a standard example of a combination reaction
- Testing the oxide: the white ash dissolved in water turns red litmus blue, showing that metal oxides are basic
- Reaction with dilute hydrochloric or sulfuric acid, giving hydrogen gas that burns with a pop
- Placing magnesium in the reactivity series alongside zinc, iron and copper
Scope of supply and ordering
Magnesium ribbon is supplied by the roll; roll length, the number of rolls, packing and dispatch time are stated on the quotation.
Frequently asked questions
What are the width and thickness of the ribbon?
The ribbon is 4 mm wide and 0.2 mm thick.
Why is the surface cleaned before burning?
Magnesium slowly forms a dull oxide layer in air; rubbing the ribbon with sandpaper removes it so the metal lights readily.
What is formed when magnesium ribbon burns?
Magnesium oxide, a white powder, as magnesium combines with oxygen from the air.
