Burning of magnesium (or anything else) requires continuing combination with oxygen. If a burning piece of magnesium is transferred to an atmosphere of nitrogen, no additional magnesium can react with oxygen because none is available for reaction.

What is the chemical reaction of Magnesium and Nitrogen?
3Mg + N2 --> Mg3N2 Magnesium and nitrogen react to form magnesium nitride.
Why the magnesium continues to burn in nitrogen even nitrogen is a non supporter of combustion?
Magnesium is a highly flammable metal. Once ignited, it is difficult to extinguish, being able to burn in Nitrogen by forming magnesium nitride. 3Mg + N2 → Mg3N2
Why magnesium continues to burn in nitrogen although nitrogen is a non combustible gas?
Normally magnesium in liquid nitrogen (-196 deg Celsius) turns brittle and can be broken into pieces but when magnesium is fuse lit in liquid nitrogen it forms magnesium nitrate and burns rigorously with bright light. Mg + N2 = MgN2 + heat R . C Salvi rcsalvi@rediffmail.com
What is the product when magnesium reacts with nitrogen?
magnesium nitride, Mg3N2 Please see the link.
What type of bond does magnesium and nitrogen have?
A ionic bond
In what gas does burning magnesium go out in?
In nitrogen
What is the word equation for the reaction of magnesium with nitrogen?
magnesium oxide + nitrogen >>> magnesium nitrite
What happens when you mix nitrogen and magnesium?
magnesium nitride (Mg3N2) is formed upon heating magnesium and nitrogen.
Does nitrogen stop magnesium from burning?
No, magnesium can continue tor burn in nitrogen to form magnesium nitride, Mg3N2
How does nitrogen gas react with magnesium?
Magnesium nitride is formed when magnesium powder is burned in the presence of nitrogen gas.
Why does nitrogen burn magnesium?
While nitrogen is usually fairly inert, magnesium is so reactive that even nitrogen can react with it.
Does magnesium react with nitrogen gas?
yes, the burning strip of Magnesium in nitrogen atmosphere produces solid Magnesium nitride, 3Mg + N2 = Mg3N2
What element does magnesium nitrate contain?
Magnesium, nitrogen and oxygen are mainly what Magnesium nitrate is made up of. The formula is Mg(NO3)2.
What reaction is magnesium with N?
Magnesium + Nitrogen ----> Magnesium Nitride3 Mg + N2 ----> Mg3N2
What are the two elements that make up magnesium nitride?
Magnesium and nitrogen.
What is the chemical reaction of Magnesium and Nitrogen?
3Mg + N2 --> Mg3N2 Magnesium and nitrogen react to form magnesium nitride.
What elements are in magnesium nitride?
Nitride is an ion consisting of a single nitrogen atom with a 3- charge. This must be balanced by a positive ion, usually a metal ion. What metal it is can vary.
