About This Item
Description
Wrap up your class on chemical changes and combustion experiments with Magnesium Ribbon. Strand consists of 75 feet long (and 8/10 inch wide) silver-gray, odorless metal that weighs 31 grams (approximately 1 ounce). Burn at a high temperature and watch the bright, very intense flame eventually combust into pure magnesium oxide! For safety, use Ultraviolet blocking UV goggles (sold separately).Features
- Burning magnesium ribbon produces an intensely bright reaction, creating a substantial amount of heat energy (up to 1,000s of degrees)
- Sturdy metal construction of metal ribbon can be ignited using a simple butane lighter or Bunsen burner
- Ribbon burns slowly but steadily down length of 75-foot long strand and results in a flaky and white Magnesium Oxide (magnesia) residue
- Safely burning the magnesium ribbon is a fun and hands-on way to demonstrate principles of combustion and chemical changes for chemistry classes
