What type of reaction takes place when a magnesium ribbon is burnt in air?
Rapid oxidization.
Does magnesium burn better in nitrogen or oxygen?
Magnesium burn in oxygen; burning is an oxidation reaction. Magnesium also reacts with nitrogen at high temperature to form Mg3N2 where the magnesium is oxidised, i.e. loses electrons. When magnesium is burnt in air some nitride is produced which hydrolyses to give a faint smell of ammonia. The enthalpy of formation (heat of reaction) is greater for MgO than for Mg3N2.
What is equation for the reaction that takes place when magnesiam burns in aiur?
Reaction that takes place when magnesium burns in air= Magnesium + Oxygen = Magnesium Oxide (magnesia)
What type of chemical reaction takes place when magnesium wire is heated?
When magnesium metal wire is heated in open air, an oxidation-reduction reaction takes place between the magnesium and the oxygen in the air. The magnesium is oxidized as the oxygen is reduced. The product of this reaction is magnesium oxide, MgO. Note that this reaction can also be deemed a combustion reaction, which is a specific type of redox reaction which involves the production of heat and sometimes light.
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.
What type of reaction takes place when a magnesium ribbon is burnt in air?
Rapid oxidization.
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 form instead when magnesium is burnt in air?
It forms magnesium oxide. :)
What does magnesium react with when burnt?
Oxygen in the air (O2)
When magnesium is burnt in the air is it a chemical change?
Yes. Magnesium burns in air brightly giving Magnesium oxide, witch is a chemical change.
Reaction that occurs when magnesium is burnt into air?
2Mg + O2 --> 2MgOthe reaction produces a very bright white light which can make u blind, so don't look directly to the 'flame'!

What happen when Mg is burnt in air?
The product is magnesium oxide MgO.
What happens Mg is burnt in air?
The product is magnesium oxide MgO.
What is the element that forms a mixture of nitride and oxide when burnt in air?
Lithium & Magnesium
