Our aim in this experiment is to make a metal oxide and observe the difference in properties of the product compared to the reactants.
The equipment we used are a piece of magnesium, Bunsen burner, safety glasses, and metal scissor tongs.
Method:
1) Light your Bunsen burner. 2) Hold your piece of magnesium in the scissor tongs. Ensure you are holding onto the very tip of the magnesium. 3) Place the other end of the magnesium into the Bunsen flame (at the top of the blue flame). 4) When the magnesium begins to burn, do not look directly at it, as the light emitted can permanently damage your eyes.
Observation: When the magnesium got burned, it lighten up for a while and turned into ashes. That's what I saw.
