Magnesium plus oxygen becomes magnesium oxide.
What does a magnesium strip look like before it is burnt?
It has the appearance of a thin silver-coloured ribbon.
What type of reaction takes place when a magnesium ribbon is burnt in air?
Rapid oxidization.
What compound is formed when magnesium is burnt?
Magnesium oxide (MgO) is formed. When a piece of magnesium ribbon is burnt it reacts with oxygen in air according to the chemical equation: 2Mg(s) + O2(g) → 2MgO(s) The magnesium burns in a bright white light and the resulting magnesium oxide is in the form of a white powder.
