yes. during the ignition of the magnesium ribbon, if expose in a nitrogenous atmosphere it could result to a substance called magnesium nitride

What precautions should be taken when burning magnesium?
Magnesium ribbon is not particularly dangerous unless you ignite it. If it does catch fire, it will burn with an intensly bright white light that will burn your retinas if you aren't wearing appropriate eye protection or aren't looking away while it is burning. It is as bad as watching arc welding because of the ultraviolet light emitted. It is good form to wear eye protection in the lab at all times. While you can tear the ribbon with your fingers, it is possible that it could poke you in the eye and scratch your cornea.
Would magnesium and iron nitrate react?
No, as magnesium is more reactive, and would 'keep' the nitrate.
What happens when HCl is added to a magnesium ribbon?
Well it depends on the acid. For example in Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) the Magnesium would react with the HCl and replace the Hydrogen creating Magnesium Chloride and Hydrogen gas ( 2HCl + Mg ----> MgCl2 + H2 ). However mix it with other acids and nothing could happen or an even more violent reaction could occur. It all depends on what exact compound you mix it with.
What is the independent variable in the magnesium oxide reaction?
The independent variable in the Magnesium Oxide Lab would be the Mass of the Magnesium Ribbon. This is because the mass of the product, i.e. Magnesium Oxide, depends on how much Magnesium is added.
Why might the expression 1 mole of nitrogen be confusing?
Is that "1 mole of nitrogen" could be interpreted as one mole of nitrogen atoms or a mole of nitrogen molecules.
What substance reacted with Mg ribbon upon ignition it is possible that nitrogen could react with itwhy?
i think it would be MAGNESIUM NITRIDE.

You are doing a project on coke acid what should you know?
Try working out the pH, the acidity. You can try adding indicators to it, or you can try reacting coke with a reactive metal such as magnesium ribbon. Or, you could try the coin trick... :)
Is magnesium carbonate and magnesium trisilicate the same med?
Magnesium carbonate and magnesium trisilicate are not the same chemically, but both of them could be effective antacids.
Would magnesium and iron nitrate react?
No, as magnesium is more reactive, and would 'keep' the nitrate.
Can hamsters play with ribbon?
I would not let them play with it. They could try to eat the fibbers off the ribbon.
Is ribbon a direct object?
No, ribbon is not a direct object. A direct object is a noun or pronoun that receives the action of the verb. In the sentence, "She wrapped the ribbon around the gift," "ribbon" is the object being wrapped, not the direct object.

Why rubbed magnesium ribbon burns faster than non rubbed magnesium ribbon?
IF the chemical composition is the same in both rubbed and non-rubbed than the only difference could be that oxygen is more readily available in the rubbed ribbon. Which burns faster, 100 lb tree stump or 100 lbs of sawdust made from that tree stump? They are both the same material except one is more solid than the other. The sustained chemical reaction in fire needs: Heat, fuel, and oxygen. Because the rubbed ribbons allow for more oxygen to be present (like saw dust), it will burn faster.
Is magnesium a compound made up of 2 separate elements?
Magnesium is an element so is not made of other elements. An atomic physicist might tell us that Magnesium could be split into lighter components in a nuclear reactor but I think Magnesium is itself too light for that to be possible. from Beano in the UK
Would copper and zinc nitrate react?
They could, since magnesium is more reactive than copper, and could displace it to form magnesium nitrate.
What is the independent variable in the magnesium oxide reaction?
The independent variable in the Magnesium Oxide Lab would be the Mass of the Magnesium Ribbon. This is because the mass of the product, i.e. Magnesium Oxide, depends on how much Magnesium is added.
