Question

Starting with magnesium and concentrated nitric acid, describe how you would prepare magnesium oxide. [Hint: First convert Mg to $\mathrm{Mg}\left(\mathrm{NO}_3\right)_2$. Next, MgO can be obtained by heating $\mathrm{Mg}\left(\mathrm{NO}_3\right)_2$.]

00:01 This is question 39 from chapter 23.
00:04 How will we prepare and make magnesium oxide? so the first thing we're going to do is that we're going to have, we're starting with magnesium.
00:14 It's going to be reacting with concentrated nitric acid.
00:17 Let me write this out.
00:18 So we're going to have the balanced equation.
00:21 We'll have three magnesiums plus going to have eight, 8, 8g, 03.
00:39 And this is going to react to make a magnesium nitrate...
