1. Set up a Bunsen burner on a heat-proof mat.
2. Take a small piece of magnesium ribbon and place it in some tongs
3. Hold the tongs at arm's length and place the magnesium ribbon in the Bunsen flame.
4. Once the magnesium is burning DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE FAME. Magnesium burns very brightly and the light could harm your eyes.

A1. Describe what has been formed
A2. Name the reactants in this chemical reaction.
A3. List all the safety precautions you need to take while carrying out this experiment

Answer:

MAKE ME BRAINLIEST TOOK TIME!!!!

Explanation:

A1)      When magnesium reacts with oxygen, it produces light bright enough to blind you temporarily. Magnesium burns so bright because the reaction releases a lot of heat. As a result of this exothermic reaction, magnesium gives two electrons to oxygen, forming powdery magnesium oxide (MgO).

A2)      magnesium oxide

A3)      Do not return chemicals to their original packaging. An incompatible mixture may accidentally be formed.

Keep chemical containers closed. Dust and vapour may escape from an open container, while gases and suspended material may penetrate this, causing the nature of the chemical to change. This will also avoid unnecessary exposure.

Never use a wrong or an unmarked reagent. If you are unsure about the compound, do not use it. Instead, have it disposed of (see Disposal of Hazardous Waste).

Never put spatulas, stirrers or other objects into a storage container for chemicals. Remove the contents by pouring and rolling the contents of the glass into a beaker, glass container or other suitable equipment. Spatulas may be used with caution in laboratory reagent containers. Remember the labelling (see the Safety Rules for working in lab).

Once removed from the bottle or glass, cork stoppers must be placed on a clean surface (e.g. a watch glass or other suitable equipment) with the opening facing down. This is to avoid contamination of the compound and unnecessary exposure.

Chemical bottles must not be carried by the neck of the bottle, nor next to your body. Suitable carrying arrangements should be employed, e.g. buckets or trolleys.

When pouring from bottles, the label should always face upward to prevent any spillage from destroying the label.

Never put any chemicals in the bottle other than the one indicated on the label.

Special precautions should be taken when handling concentrated acids. Dilution of acids should be performed by pouring the acid into water and stirring continuously.
