yes it is used in many fireworks. Also burns underwater. Google the 1955 LeMans disaster
Magnesuium burn in air at room temperature.
magnesium oxide
the white powder is magnesium oxide. Magnesium burns in air with a dazzling white light to produce magnesium oxide. the equation is- 2Mg + O2 = 2MgO
At room temperature, magnesium and oxygen react very slowly. However, when you burn the magnesium, it will rapidly combine with oxygen in the air to form magnesium oxide, MgO.
magnesium oxide is formed
Yes, magnesium burn in air.
I don't know how you know afterwards but when you burn magnesium in air it burns this really bright white light.
Magnesuium burn in air at room temperature.
magnisium sulphate
Magnesium react with water and burn easily in air.
What happens when magnesium burns? What do you need for magnesium to burn? Will magnesium burn if you have it in a closed container? No. Why not? It needs air. Why does it need air? There is oxygen in the air. Magnesium needs oxygen to burn. So, when magnesium burns, you start with magnesium and end up with a compound that contains both magnesium and oxygen. Magnesium has an atomic weight of 24. Oxygen has an atomic weight of 16. So if you start out with 24 grams of Magnesium you should end up with 40 grams of Magnesium Oxide.
It's a chemical change. The magnesium reacts and combines with the oxygen in the air.

Magnesium burn in oxygen; burning is an oxidation reaction. Magnesium also reacts with nitrogen at high temperature to form Mg3N2 where the magnesium is oxidised, i.e. loses electrons. When magnesium is burnt in air some nitride is produced which hydrolyses to give a faint smell of ammonia. The enthalpy of formation (heat of reaction) is greater for MgO than for Mg3N2.
Burn a piece of magnesium (just did an assessment on that)
