What happens to the MASS when MAGNESIUM is burnt inside a CONTAINER?

According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, matter can neither be created nor destroyed, only change forms.
Therefore, if you burn magnesium inside of a closed container, the mass will remain the same.
----
However you will get heavier ash than you had magnesium as the Oxygen in the air in your container will be transfered. But Total Mass is conserved.

What happen to the original magnesium after it has been burned?
If completely burnt (in excess of oxygen), all the magnesium will be converted to magnesium oxide.
Is magnesium still a metal after it has been burnt?
After burning it is converted into Magnesium oxide which is a metallic oxide not a metal.
What happens whilst burning magnesium?
a white spark light comes out of it! and the temperature goes higherAdditional answerAnd the magnesium combines with oxygen and forms magnesium oxide (MgO)
What type of chemical reaction takes place when a magnesium wire is burnt in air and write chemical equation for the same?
When magnesium oxide is burnt in air, an oxidation of the magnesium and reduction of some of the oxygen in the air occurs according to the equation:2 Mg + O2 -> 2 MgO.
What is the name of the powder when magnesium has burnt?
the epsom salt of magnisium is used as theTalcum powder.
What happens Mg is burnt in air?
The product is magnesium oxide MgO.
What happens when magnesium is inserted in test tube with oxygen?
If heated, magnesium oxide or MgO (a white powder) is formed.
Does magnesium turn into a metal when burnt?
Magnesium is a metal
What reaction is it when magnesium is burnt in air?
Magnesium plus oxygen becomes magnesium oxide.
Does magnesium's weight increase when it is burnt?
If it is burnt with a gas such as oxygen then yes
What is form instead when magnesium is burnt in air?
It forms magnesium oxide. :)
What becomes heavier after getting burnt?
Magnesium becomes heavier after it is burnt. This is because the magnesium has chemically bonded with oxygen to form magnesium oxide. The oxygen adds the extra weight.
How many products formed when magnesium burnt?
One - Magnesium Oxide (MgO)
What comes when magnesium ribbon is burnt?
a bright light is created and it then creates magnesium oxide
What happen to the original magnesium after it has been burned?
If completely burnt (in excess of oxygen), all the magnesium will be converted to magnesium oxide.
What does magnesium react with when burnt?
Oxygen in the air (O2)
Explain the reaction when magnesium metal is burnt using the Big Idea of Energy?
The reaction of magnesium and oxygen happens with the help of heat enery. There are two magnesium particles and two oxygen particles these then join together to create two magnesium oxide compounds.
