Magnesium is a reactive metal in groupe two of the periodic table and reacts with oxygen gas in group six to produce Magnesium Oxide.
The reaction is as follows:
2Mg + O2 gives 2MgO
Magnesium is a reactive metal in group two of the Periodic Table and reacts with O2 in group six to produce Magnesium Oxide. The reaction is as follows: 2Mg + O2 gives 2MgO
2Mg + O2 -> 2MgO - violent reaction giving off intense white light and MgO as "smoke" - take care if doing this - some expensive car wheels are made of Magnesium alloy!!

4.03g - 2.43g = 1.60g
A white powdery substance is formed.It is Magnesium oxide which is formed by the reaction of magnesium with oxygen.
This is a chemical change, like any other burning reaction: magnesium is turned into magnesium oxide by burning reaction with oxygen (from air). 2Mg + O2 --> 2MgO
Magnesium reacts violently with oxygen to make Magnesium Oxide
This is oxygen.
Magnesium loss electrons and oxygen gain electrons.
Magnesium plus oxygen becomes magnesium oxide.

In any redox reaction, at least one reactant is reduced and at least one reactant is oxidized. In the reaction between magnesium and oxygen, the magnesium atoms are oxidized because they lose electrons and the oxygen atoms are reduced because they gain electrons. Furthermore, the premise of the question is erroneous: The reaction does not as alleged show only addition of oxygen; instead it shows combination of magnesium and oxygen to form a new chemical entity, the compound magnesium oxide.

The product is magnesium oxide (MgO) when magnesium reacts with oxygen.2Mg(s) + O2(g) --> 2MgO(s)magnesium + oxygen --> magnesium oxide
Reaction that takes place when magnesium burns in air= Magnesium + Oxygen = Magnesium Oxide (magnesia)
When magnesium metal wire is heated in open air, an oxidation-reduction reaction takes place between the magnesium and the oxygen in the air. The magnesium is oxidized as the oxygen is reduced. The product of this reaction is magnesium oxide, MgO. Note that this reaction can also be deemed a combustion reaction, which is a specific type of redox reaction which involves the production of heat and sometimes light.
