If the burning of the magnesium ribbon was out of control would it affect the mole ratio of oxygen to magnesium?

No. According to the law of definite proportions, the mole ratio will always be the same.


Is the MgF3 compond likely to occur?

No. Magnesium forms an ion with a 2+ charge while fluorine forms an ion with a 1- charge, so the resulting compound is MgF2. MgF3 would require magnesium to have a 3+ charge, which would be unstable.


What is the chemical name for MgSe?

On the surface, this would be magnesium sulphide, but magnesium sulphide is MgS. The compound here, Mg2S2, has the same ratio of magnesium to sulfur as MgS, but this compound, Mg2S2 is not one that exists. A molecule made of two atoms of magnesium and two atoms of sulfur, Mg2S2, will not form. A link can be found below to the "real" magnesium sulphide.

How if the magnesuim is not polished would the reported mole ratio of oxygen to magnesium be too high too lowor unaffected?

If the magnesium is not polished, there may be impurities or oxides on the surface that could affect the reported mole ratio of oxygen to magnesium. This could result in a higher reported mole ratio due to the presence of excess oxygen-containing compounds on the surface, leading to an inaccurate measurement of the actual ratio of oxygen to magnesium.
