If the magnesium is burnt in air rather than pure oxygen some Mg3N2 magnesium nitride is formed. This is evidenced by the faint smell of ammonia when the combustion products are hydrolysed.

∙ 14y agowhen magnesium is burnt it starts to spark and then shines a very bright light and is left with a powder which is called magnesium oxide (MgO)

Is burning a magnesium ribbon a physical change?
No. Burning magnesium, or burning anything for that matter, is a chemical change. The magnesium reacts with oxygen to form magnesium oxide, and to some degree reacts with nitrogen to form magnesium nitride.
What product is formed on burning magnesium ribbon?
The product of the magnesium burning is magnesium oxide (MgO).
What colour does the sparkler burn of burning magnesium?
An intense white flame is produced when magnesium burns.
Is magnesium burning in the air a chemical change?
Yes. Burning anything is a chemical change.
What is the compound for burning magnesium?

What happens when you drop burning magnesium into oxygen?
you get a flare
What sort of reaction happens when magnesium oxide is made by burning magnesium in air?
it is a combustion reaction or oxidation snce it happens with oxygen.
Name the compound involved in burning magnesium?
After burning of magnesium MgO (magnesium oxide) is obtained.
What happens when you combine magnesium dioxide and a burning wood splint in a gas generating bottle?
POP!
Is burning a magnesium ribbon a physical change?
No. Burning magnesium, or burning anything for that matter, is a chemical change. The magnesium reacts with oxygen to form magnesium oxide, and to some degree reacts with nitrogen to form magnesium nitride.
Is magnesium burning a physical change?
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

What does magnesium ribbon leave after burning?
MgO, Magnesium oxide.
What product is formed on burning magnesium ribbon?
The product of the magnesium burning is magnesium oxide (MgO).
Why is the burning of magnesium considered a chemical change?
During burning magnesium is transformed in magnesium oxide - a chemical reaction:2 Mg + O2 = 2 MgO
What is the word equation for burning magnesium ribbon?
magnesium + oxygen gas ----D magnesium oxide
When magnesium is burning in the presence of oxygen what are some evidence that a chemical change is occurring?
It shows the change of when the magnesium is burning in the presence of oxygen.
