Magnesium powder is elemental magnesium ground down to a fine powder.
you get magnesium oxide + iron
For example the melting of this powder.
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
the epsom salt of magnisium is used as theTalcum powder.

The magnesium powder is used as a source of illumination for the photo. Just for the older cameras, the ones we have today use lights not the magnesium powder.
For example the melting of this powder.
Yes it is. And you have not asked a question yet. The white powder is magnesium oxide.

You get a grey powder because magnesium is higher up in the reactivity series than Copper - (magnesium is more reactive than copper) therefore when you heat it up there is a displacement reaction. That grey powder is actully magnesium oxide and copper e.g Copper oxide + magnesium = magnesium oxide and copper.
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
magnesium look like white powder after burning in air. magnesium burns in air n react with atmospheric oxygen n forms magnesium oxide which is a white powder.
"A strong electrolyte dissociates completely into ions in aqueous solution. When magnesium sulfite, a strong electrolyte, is put into water the cations and anions are surrounded by water molecules and the solid dissolves.MgSO3(s) Mg2+(aq) + SO32-(aq)"*This is a quote from OWL, the chemistry homework site.Basically, if you don't feel like reading above, magnesium sulfite dissociates completely and makes Mg2+ and SO32- pretty cool huh?
Magnesium nitride is formed when magnesium powder is burned in the presence of nitrogen gas.
