Re: Burning Magnesium Under Water: Mr. Wizard Strikes Out
It isn't going to burn when completely immersed.
The oxygen concentration and the temperature drop too low to sustain
the combustion, unless the ration of magnesium to water is extremely
large, as in a mist, or an unusually large mass of magnesium in a small
pool of water.
