Magnesium undergoes a chemical reaction when it burns: It combines with oxygen out of the atmosphere to form magnesium oxide (MgO), which has more mass than the Mg alone. The Atomic Mass of magnesium is 24.3, but the molecular mass of MgO is 40.3 (24.3 + 16.0).

∙ 12y agoWhen burned in air with a Bunsen burner it produces a bright white flame/light. Never look directly at it as it will hurt your eyes. After burning they produce magnesium oxide. here's an equation for it :
2Mg + O2 -----> 2MgO
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoIt reacts with the oxygen and nitrogen in the air, when it reaches a certain temperature. This makes a compound changing its physical characteristics.

∙ 11y agoBecause after burning magnesium is transformed in magnesium oxide (MgO) with a higher molar mass.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoBecause it burns very hot.

When magnesium ribbon is bought near the Bunsen flame it catches fire and the colour of the flame produced would be?
The flame is white and very luminous.
What colour does the sparkler burn of burning magnesium?
An intense white flame is produced when magnesium burns.
How white flame is formed?
Yes, it is possible to have a white flame. A good example of a white flame is the flame with which a magnesium wire burns. When magnesium wire is burnt in air(oxygen), it burns with a bright white flame.
What is the name of the white powder that is left when you burn magnesium?
the white powder is magnesium oxide. Magnesium burns in air with a dazzling white light to produce magnesium oxide. the equation is- 2Mg + O2 = 2MgO
Why is magnesium used in firework?
Because of the white flame magnesium gives off when it burns
What will happen when magnesium ribbon is heated?
It is burns and releases a brilliant white flame.
When magnesium ribbon is bought near the Bunsen flame it catches fire and the colour of the flame produced would be?
The flame is white and very luminous.
What does burn with a dazzling white light?
You think probable to magnesium.
What colour does the sparkler burn of burning magnesium?
An intense white flame is produced when magnesium burns.
State two observations that can be made from burning magnesium?
It can be observed that magnesium burns in air with a dazzling white flame. A white powder known as magnesium oxide is produced. Magnesium burns in oxygen present in the air to produce magnesium oxide.
How white flame is formed?
Yes, it is possible to have a white flame. A good example of a white flame is the flame with which a magnesium wire burns. When magnesium wire is burnt in air(oxygen), it burns with a bright white flame.
why)List down the effects of heat involved in the following.a. Solid wax changes into liquid wax on heating.b. Magnesium ribbon burns with a dazzling white flame and leaves behind white ash?
Because there are more number of air pocket in loosely knotted sweater so it wont let heat to flow from our body and keeps us warm
Flame color of magnesium sulfate?
it burns white, but when mixed with potasium nirtate, it burns purple/violet
What color flame does magnesium sulfate burn?
Burning magnesium will result in a brilliant white light.
What is the colour of magnesium ribbon?
Dull silvery white.
What do you get when magnesium reacts with oxygen and fire?
White powdery magnesium oxide and a white hot flame.
What is the color of magnesium in flame?
it's white.
