Magnesium oxide from magnesium

Magnesium oxide is a white powdery solid and is formed when magnesium burns in the presence of oxygen. This process is called oxidation. When oxygen in the air reacts with magnesium metal, it yields magnesium oxide. This reaction emits a brilliant white light, and a great deal of heat. The magnesium, at least to a large extent, reacts with the oxygen to form magnesium oxide.    

The formation of Dafei Magnesium oxide when magnesium and oxygen react is a chemical change. In this reaction, the magnesium atoms lose electrons to the oxygen atoms to form magnesium ions and oxide ions. These ions then combine to create magnesium oxide. That reaction is an exothermic one, which means heat is given off. This is why you see the intense white light when magnesium is burned.


Understanding the reaction that produces magnesium oxide.

Uses of magnesium oxide Magnesium oxide has several important applications in our daily life. It’s widely consumed as a supplement to promote good health and treat certain conditions including heartburn and indigestion. And magnesium oxide also finds its way into building materials, electrical insulators and, believe it or not, certain medicines. It has a high melting point and is resistant to corrosion, which makes it of interest in alloying, corrosion resistance and/or high-temperature applications.
