That is true. Coal is composed mostly of carbon, and when it burns it turns into carbon dioxide, which is a gas. The ash is just a minor residue of the non-carbon part of the coal. Whereas, magnesium when it burns turns into a solid material, magnesium oxide; it gains oxygen from the air and therefore increases in weight.

Why when magnesium ribbon is burnt the ash is heavier?

When Magnesium burns, it is actually combining with oxygen in the air to form a new compound, magnesium oxide. If we were to carefully weigh a piece of magnesium before and after burning it, you would see that its weight increased by about one third. For example, if you start with 100 grams of magnesium, after the burn you would end up with about 130 grams of magnesium oxide. The fact that the magnesium oxide you create by burning is powdery, means that it takes up more space (size or volume) than the solid magnesium did.
