Introduction
The purpose of this lab was to make chemical reactions and to help strengthen the understanding of the different types of chemical reactions. The lab consisted of carrying out multiple reactions of many types (synthesis, decomposition, single replacement, double replacement, combustion), and writing balanced equations for each reaction.
Results
Magnesium and oxygen react and for a bright white light.
My favorite reaction was the magnesium and oxygen reaction. A magnesium strip is held over a Bunsen burner. Magnesium (Mg) reacts with oxygen gas (O2) to form magnesium oxide (MgO), emitting a bright white light in the process. The result, after the light fades, is a white, powdery solid.
Equations for each of the eight reactions.
