    Activity 3.

    8 Class 10 Science
     Take a magnesium ribbon and some sulphur powder.
     Burn the magnesium ribbon. Collect the ashes formed and dissolve them in water.
     Test the resultant solution with both red and blue litmus paper.
     Is the product formed on burning magnesium acidic or basic?
     Now burn sulphur powder. Place a test tube over the burning sulphur to collect the fumes produced.
     Add some water to the above test tube and shake.
     Is the product formed on burning sulphur acidic or basic?
     Can you write equations for these reactions?
    Observation
    When a substance is burnt in the air, it reacts with the oxygen present in the air.
    Conclusion: The solution obtained on dissolving ashes after burning magnesium, turns litmus blue and on
    the other hand solution obtained on dissolving gases from burning sulphur (SO2, SO3) are acidic. The
    reaction is:
    2Mg(s) + O2(g) → 2MgO(s) Magnesium oxide
    MgO(s) + H2O(l) → Mg(OH)2(aq) Magnesium hydroxide
    S(s) + O2 (g) → SO2 (g)
    sulphur
    SO2(g) + H2O(I) → H2SO3(aq) Sulphurous acid
    Metal oxides are basic and non-metal oxides are acidic in nature.
