The burning of magnesium strip resutls in the formation of magnesium oxide. What wil happen if we dissolve this magnesium oxide in sulphuric acid?
Salt and water
The burning of magnesium strip leads to the formation of magnesium oxide.
2Mg+O2→2MgO
The magnesium oxide when dissolved in acid (sulphuric acid) gives salt and water.
MgO+H2SO4→MgSO4+H2O
