Samir is going to carry out a chemical reaction and make a compound called magnesium oxide. He plans to hold a strip of magnesium in a Bunsen burner flame until it gives out a bright white light and magnesium oxide is made. He will then put the magnesium oxide onto his desk, so he can observe it. This experiment could cause harm to Samir and the people around him.

  • Describe the hazards, and what Samir should do to reduce the chance of harm.
