Combination Reaction • Magnesium • Crucible Tongs • Description – This Synthesis:
Ribbon • Mortar and Pestle experiment aims
• Oxygen (from • Bunsen’s Burner to show the Mg + O2 → MgO
flame) (lighter was used synthesis reaction
instead) between oxygen
and magnesium. Balanced:
• Procedure – First,
a 5-inch piece of 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO
magnesium ribbon
was cut and was
held with a
crucible tong.
Then, it was put
over a flame from
a lighter. After a
few seconds, the
magnesium ribbon
stated sparking up
and burning into
an ash-like
substance called
magnesium oxide.

The mixture
bubbled up and
went through the

magnesium and
hydrochloric acid. Balanced:
• Procedure – First,
3 inches of Mg + 2HCl → MgCl2 +
magnesium ribbon H2
was placed into a
test tube. Then,
about 50 ml of
hydrochloric acid
was poured into
the test tube. The
mixture started

chloride was also
left in the test
tube. The mixture
also heated up.

dish. Then, it was
lit with a lighter. It
immediately
burned and
produced black
smoke. We put a
spoon over the
flame and
observed that soot
formed on the
spoon.

instead) • Procedure – First,
we poured about C2H5OH(1) + 3O2 →
15 ml of ethanol 2CO2 + 3H2O
into a petri dish.
Then, we lit it up
with a lighter. It
immediately
flamed up and we
observed that its
flames were blue
in color, which
meant that it was
hotter than the
flame of camphor,
which was yellow
in color.
