Magnesium Metal Powder (Mg )- 100g
Key Properties:
-
Chemical Formula: Mg (Magnesium).
-
Appearance: A silvery-white powder, often highly flammable when exposed to air or moisture.
-
Density: Approximately 1.738 g/cm³.
-
Reactivity: Magnesium metal is highly reactive, especially when powdered, as it has a large surface area that increases its reactivity. It can burn with a bright white light when ignited.
-
Solubility: Magnesium is insoluble in water but reacts with acids to produce hydrogen gas.
-
Flammability: Magnesium powder is highly flammable and can ignite when exposed to heat, friction, or open flame.
Uses:
-
Synthesis: Used as a reducing agent in the synthesis of other chemicals, such as in the production of titanium and uranium.
-
Pyrotechnics: Employed in fireworks, flares, and other applications requiring intense light or heat.
-
Alloying: Used in alloys like magnesium-aluminum for aerospace and automotive industries due to its light weight and strength.
-
Laboratory: Used in chemical reactions as a reductant or in thermite reactions for producing heat or metals.
