Results for 'magnesium':

EXPERIMENT 1
---------------
  Selenium dissolves in a sulfide solution, forming a deep red/brown solution.
  Hydrogen peroxide is capable of oxidizing this solution.


EXPERIMENT 2
---------------
  Magnesium dissolves in acid very easily.


EXPERIMENT 3
---------------
  Silver nitrate reacts very violently with magnesium, but only if the reaction
  is started by adding some water. Once the reaction runs, it continues
  through the dry mixture.


EXPERIMENT 4
---------------
Finely divided magnesium powder violently reacts with wet cupric nitrate and
with wet ferric nitrate. The dry solids do not react.


EXPERIMENT 5
---------------
Magnesium and potassium tetrachloro iodide do not react when dry, but when a
drop of water is added, then a violent reaction starts, with production of
purple clouds of iodine.


EXPERIMENT 6
---------------
Powdered magnesium and powdered red phosphorus react violently, when heated
sufficiently. The reaction product contains considerable amounts of magnesium
phosphide.
