Record your observations in the following table:metal,colour of flame,how does it burn oxygen,what does the product look like, name of the product
Answer (1)
Metal Colour of FlameMagnesium (Mg) - Bright whiteCopper (Cu) - Green/blue-green Iron (Fe) - Yellow/orange sparksSodium (Na) - Bright yellow Calcium (Ca) Orange-redHow Does It Burn in Oxygen?Mg - Burns with an intense white flameCu - Burns slowly with green flame Fe - Burns with bright sparks Na - Burns vigorously Ca - Burns steadilyWhat Does the Product Look Like?Mg - White powderCu - Black solidFe - Black/brown solid Na - White solid Ca - White solidName of the Product & Brief Explanation(Mg) Magnesium oxide (MgO) – A white solid formed when magnesium reacts with oxygen. It is basic in nature.(Cu) Copper(II) oxide (CuO) – A black solid formed when copper reacts with oxygen. It is an oxide of a transition metal. (Fe) Iron oxide (Fe₂O₃/Fe₃O₄) – A dark solid formed when iron filings react with oxygen, forming rust-like compounds.(Na) Sodium oxide (Na₂O) – A white solid that forms quickly as sodium reacts with oxygen; it is very reactive.(Ca) Calcium oxide (CaO) – A white powder also called quicklime, formed when calcium burns in oxygen.
