Balanced chemical equation for burning of magnesium ribbon?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

The balanced chemical equation for the burning of magnesium ribbon is:

2 Mg + O2 -> 2 MgO

Answer 3

magnesium combines with oxygen to form magnesium oxide. 2Mg + O2 -----> 2MgO

Answer 4

Mg --> MgO or Magnesion --> Magnesium oxide

Assuming the ribbon is burned in oxygen of course

Answer 5

Formation of magnesium oxide:2Mg + O2 -> 2MgO

Reaction of magnesium oxide with water:

2MgO + 2H2O -> 2MgOH + H2

Answer 6

The chemical reaction is:
2 Mg + CO2 = 2 MgO + C

Answer 7

2Mg(s) + O2(g) ---> 2 MgO (s)

Answer 8

2mg + o2 = 2mgo

Answer 9

2 Mg + CO2 = C + 2 MgO

Answer 10

Mg
