SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the burning flame temperatures of potassium and magnesium in air. It is established that magnesium exhibits the highest flame temperature among these elements. The conversation references the reactivity series, indicating that as one moves from magnesium to potassium, the reactivity and burning characteristics in air increase. The source provided includes a link to a reactivity table that supports these claims.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of chemical reactivity series
  • Knowledge of combustion reactions
  • Familiarity with flame temperature measurements
  • Basic chemistry concepts related to alkali metals
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the flame temperatures of various alkali metals
  • Study the combustion reactions of magnesium and potassium in air
  • Explore the reactivity series and its implications in chemical reactions
  • Learn about the methods for measuring flame temperatures in chemical experiments
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, educators, and researchers interested in combustion chemistry and the properties of alkali metals.

which one has strong burning flame temperature in air. ..potassium or

for what I know magnesium has the highest flame temperature..but most of books I read that from magnesium to potassium will increase the reactive buning element in air ... same in series reactive table...for oxygen reaction
