Questions from Aidan Gill, Heidi Foxford and, Dorothy Warren Solutions for Chapter: Chemical Reactions, Exercise 1: Exercise 1 with Hints & Solutions
Magnesium metal burns with a bright white light. At the end of the reaction, white magnesium oxide powder is produced. Suggest why magnesium is often found in fireworks. Your answer should include a word equation.

Nuri was doing an experiment. He has noted his observation in a table.
Test | Methods | Observation | Conclusion |
Add drop of sodium hydroxide to iron (lll) sulphate | A rust-coloured solid appeared. | _____ | |
Add drop of sodium hydroxide to calcium chloride | A white solid appeared. | _____ | |
Heat copper metal in a flame | The metal went black | _____ | |
Add copper metal to hydrochloric acid. | No changes observed. | _____ | |
Add magnesium metal to hydrochloric acid. | Bubbles are seen coming off of the metal. | _____ |
Complete the table. Write a conclusion for each experiment based on the observations.
