Magnesium Hydrogen Peroxide Reaction
Reaction of magnesium with hydrogen peroxide
Magnesium is also a metal, and it is active. Hydrogen peroxide is a compound with strong oxidizing properties. When the two meet, they react.
Magnesium is put into the hydrogen peroxide solution, and in an instant, the bubbles in the solution are surging, like boiling soup. The surface of magnesium seems to have a strong flame about to spray, and the light flashes. This is because the reaction between magnesium and hydrogen peroxide is very violent, and the chemical energy is quickly converted into heat and light energy.
Investigate the nature of the reaction, magnesium loses electrons, and the valence increases. It is oxidized. The magnesium atom ($Mg $) converts into magnesium ions ($Mg ^ {2 + }$）， its electrons are transferred to oxygen in hydrogen peroxide. The valence state of oxygen in hydrogen peroxide decreases and is reduced. Hydrogen peroxide ($H_ {2} O_ {2} $) gradually changes to water ($H_ {2} O $), while magnesium ions interact with ions in the solution and stabilize in the system. The chemical equation of the
reaction is as follows: $Mg + H_ {2} O_ {2} = MgO + H_ {2} O $. Although this formula is simple, it precisely shows the material change of the reaction between the two. Magnesium oxide ($MgO $) is initially born in the system, or due to the violent reaction, some of them are suspended as very fine particles, causing the solution to be slightly cloudy.
This reaction is often explored by scholars in the laboratory, and has also been applied in some industrial fields. In the laboratory, it can reveal the wonders of chemical changes and explore the laws of material reactions; in industry, or in the preparation of special materials, using the energy of the reaction and the characteristics of the product, to open up new avenues.
