Magnesium weight more than ash. White ash is magnesium oxide.

the white ash is the chemial product produced when Mg is reacted with oxide.There the white ash is MgO(magnesuim oxide)
Magnesium oxide
The magnesium burns readily in air to produce a white ash which is magnesium oxide. This is due to the "oxidation" of the metal.
Magnesium is a metal. When it burns it forms compounds, to which the terms metal and nonmetal are generally not applied.

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.
Magnesium oxide
it turn white as ash
It burns with a blindingly bright white flame producing a white powdery ash.

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.
the answer is acidic
Burning (oxydation) and transformation in magnesium oxide.
white ash is a softwood
