A
Bright white flame
Mg + O = MgO
Not very soluble but some does dissolve to make an alkaline solution
MgO + H2O = Mg(OH)2-
White, powdery ash

Q
Sulfur -
A
S +o2 = so2
Blue flame
Poisonous, colourless sulfur dioxide gas is produced
Sulfur dioxide dissolves in water to form an acid solution of sulfurous acid
SO2 +H2O = H2SO3
3
