Magnesium is a strong enough reducer to "steal" oxygen from other compounds such as carbon dioxide. magnesium reacts with CO2 to produce magnesium oxide and elemental carbon.

2Mg + CO2 --> 2MgO + C

Balanced chemical equation for burning of magnesium ribbon?

When things burn, they are just rapidly oxidising, so the Magnesium, since it is highly reactive, can ignite without any external fuels, or without it being in a compound. The reaction for this oxidisation is: 2 Mg + O2 = 2MgO. The reason we use 2 magnesium atoms, is because the oxygen in the air is, like the majority of elemental gases, is found in the elemental form.


Does Mg or Ca react faster with CO2 and why?
