About This Product
Magnesium ribbon is used to show chemical change in school and college chemistry labs. A short length, cut to the size the procedure requires, burns with an intense white light and leaves magnesium oxide, demonstrating oxidation and an exothermic reaction. As a flammable metal it is handled only under trained supervision with eye protection, kept away from oxidisers, acids and moisture, and stored dry. Besides buyers across India, the Scientific Laboratory Magnesium Ribbon 25 g can be exported to institutions in Malaysia, Maldives, Niger, Bolivia and France.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What forms when magnesium ribbon burns?
It burns with an intense white light and forms magnesium oxide, a hot residue that has to cool fully before handling. Observers should not look directly at the burning metal.
