Last week we did we did another experiment it was about making a metal oxide and Today I will be talking about it.
Aim: To make a metal oxide and observe the difference in properties of the product commpared to the reactants.
Equipment: A piece of magnesium, Bunsen burner, safety glasses and metal scissor tongs.
Method:
1. Light your Bunsen burner.
2. Hold your piece of magnesium in the scissor tongs. Ensure you are holding onto the very tip of the magnesium.
3. Place the other end of the magnesium into the Bunsen flame ( at the top of the blue flame).
4. When the magnesium begins to burn, do not look directly at it, as the light emitted can permanently damage your eyes.
Observations: The magnesium got very bright when it was burning and became like a powder/ash when it stopped.
