Magnesium burning in air is an example of this type of chemical change?

The magnesium burns readily in air to produce a white ash which is magnesium oxide. This is due to the "oxidation" of the metal.


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.


Is burning woo sublimation?

Burning is a chemical reaction between a substance and oxygen. Sublimation is a type of physical state change produced by changes in temperature and/or pressure; it is not a chemical reaction. Sublimation is not the same as combustion.

Is a spark a type of reaction?

An electrical spark is not. It is merely electrons flowing and that may cause a reaction. A fire type spark, is not either, but the fire is. A 'spark' that is a slmall ember of burning substance that 'jumps' from a fire is a burning material, so there is a chemical reaction of burning, also called oxidation, going on.
