I want to find out what happens when I burn magnesium
Hypothesis
I predict that the magnesium will burn after it meltes
Equipment
Bunsen Burner
Magnesium
Scissor Tongs
Safety Glasses
method
1.get equipment
2.light the Bunsen burner
3.hold magnesium in blue flame
results
We burned a grey piece hard of magnesium for about 10 sec and it went in to a very bright light.
discussion
Why does magnesium glow?
Magnesium burn with the oxygen in the air not the flame. The reason it burns with a bright light is because it makes a compound could Magnesium oxide. The bright light results because this reaction produces a lot of heat.
conclusion
My hypothesis was that it will malt before it burned i was incorrect it didn`t malt at all
Evaluation
Why did it create Magnesium oxide?
