Answer to Question #227960 in Biology for kim taeghyun

Question

does mg2+ attract/absorb co2....?

Answer 1

The magnesium ion (Mg2+) attract Carbon (iv)Oxide when they react. For instance, when a technician puts magnesium into carbon dioxide, it still consumes a bright flame. Based on the explanation, magnesium is above carbon in the reactivity series; hence, it reacts faster. As a result, it absorbs carbon from carbon dioxide to yield magnesium oxide and carbon.
