Magnesium oxide and carbon ii oxide.
Magmsiun oxide carnan oxide
When you burn magnesium, you are taking two elements, magnesium and oxygen, and combining them to form a compound, magnesium oxide. That is synthesis.
Science Sucks!!!!!!!! i know and im Liz i have to do a project due 2morrow and i havent even started
Magnesium is an extremely reactive metal. When stored, it reacts with oxygen to form a layer of magnesium oxide on its surface. This layer of magnesium oxide is quite stable and prevents further reaction of magnesium with oxygen. The magnesium ribbon is cleaned by sand paper for removing this layer so that the underlying metal can be exposed to air.
The powder burns much faster than the ribbon, providing a quick bright flash. The ribbon would burn more slowly, providing a longer lasting light but not as bright.See the Related Question for why a powdered substance will generally react faster.
Magnesium oxide, MgO, is the main product but there will also be traces of magnesium nitride, Mg3N2. Magnesium is unusual it will burn in pure nitrogen. 2Mg + O2 -->2 MgO 3Mg + N2 --> Mg3N2
it turn white as ash
Burning magnesium emits ultraviolet light, which can damage your eyes.

It is given out. If it were taken in, magnesium would not continue to burn when heat were removed.
mageneium oxide
Magnesium burns in carbon dioxide because, when heated, the oxygen in the carbon dioxide is able to bond with magnesium and produce an oxide. Carbon, or soot is formed as a resulting by-product. 2Mg + CO2 ----> 2MgO + C

Magnesium oxide is not a dangerous product! Items that are easy to burn, explode, and strongly corrosive are dangerous goods! ! !
Magnesium is a strong enough reducer to "steal" oxygen from other compounds such as carbon dioxide. magnesium reacts with CO2 to produce magnesium oxide and elemental carbon. 2Mg + CO2 --> 2MgO + C
