Does nitrogen stop magnesium from burning?
No, magnesium can continue tor burn in nitrogen to form magnesium nitride, Mg3N2
Why burning of magnesium in air is chemical change?
magnesium burns in oxygen to form magnesium oxide. and hence this is a chemical change
Why is the burning of magnesium ribbon a synthesis reaction?
When you burn magnesium, you are taking two elements, magnesium and oxygen, and combining them to form a compound, magnesium oxide. That is synthesis.
What kinds of chemical reactions combination combustion or decomposition is the burning of magnesium in oxygen?
When magnesium is burnt in the presence of oxygen, the magnesium and oxygen combine to form the compound magnesium oxide. Therefore, this would be a combination combustion.
Is burning magnesium 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
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.

No, magnesium can continue tor burn in nitrogen to form magnesium nitride, Mg3N2

Is burning a strip of magnesium ribbon a chemical or physical change?
This is a chemical change. The reaction is: Mg + O ---> MgO
Name the compound involved in burning magnesium?
After burning of magnesium MgO (magnesium oxide) is obtained.
How does magnesium react with metal?
On burning in air, magnesium produces a brilliant white light. they are highly flammable in their pure form when molten or in powder or ribbon form. Burning or molten magnesium metal reacts violently with water. When working with powdered magnesium, safety glasses with welding eye protection are employed, because the bright white light produced by burning magnesium contains ultraviolet light that can permanently damage the retinas of the eyes.
What kinds of chemical reactions combination combustion or decomposition is the burning of magnesium in oxygen?
When magnesium is burnt in the presence of oxygen, the magnesium and oxygen combine to form the compound magnesium oxide. Therefore, this would be a combination combustion.
How bright is burning magnesium?
Magnesium will burn readily if it is in thin slices, powdered or slivered. In thicker, bar form, it resists burning much better. However, if you happen to get a thick piece of magnesium burning, it is impossible to extinguish without a "type-D" fire extinguisher (used specifically for magnesium fires and nothing else). A thick piece of magnesium will burn for a long, long time.

What does magnesium ribbon leave after burning?
MgO, Magnesium oxide.
