When magnesium metal is burned in air, it forms two products A and B. A reacts with water to form a basic solution. B reacts with water to form a similar solution as that of A plus a gas with a pungent odor. The compounds A and B have to be identified and the equations form the reactions have to be given. Concept Introduction: Chemical equation is the representation of a chemical reaction , in which the reactants and products of the reactions are represented left and right side of an arrow respectively by using their respective chemical formulas. Oxide is the compound formed when oxygen reacts with another element. Oxides formed with metals are most probably basic. When basic oxide reacts with water, a metal hydroxide is formed.
