The reaction of magnesium and oxygen happens with the help of heat enery. There are two magnesium particles and two oxygen particles these then join together to create two magnesium oxide compounds.

What reaction is it when magnesium is burnt in air?
Magnesium plus oxygen becomes magnesium oxide.
What type of reaction takes place when a magnesium ribbon is burnt in air?
Rapid oxidization.
Does magnesium turn into a metal when burnt?
Magnesium is a metal
Does magnesium burn better in nitrogen or oxygen?
Magnesium burn in oxygen; burning is an oxidation reaction. Magnesium also reacts with nitrogen at high temperature to form Mg3N2 where the magnesium is oxidised, i.e. loses electrons. When magnesium is burnt in air some nitride is produced which hydrolyses to give a faint smell of ammonia. The enthalpy of formation (heat of reaction) is greater for MgO than for Mg3N2.
What becomes heavier after getting burnt?
Magnesium becomes heavier after it is burnt. This is because the magnesium has chemically bonded with oxygen to form magnesium oxide. The oxygen adds the extra weight.
What reaction is it when magnesium is burnt in air?
Magnesium plus oxygen becomes magnesium oxide.
What type of reaction takes place when a magnesium ribbon is burnt in air?
Rapid oxidization.
What type of chemical reaction takes place when a magnesium wire is burnt in air and write chemical equation for the same?
When magnesium oxide is burnt in air, an oxidation of the magnesium and reduction of some of the oxygen in the air occurs according to the equation:2 Mg + O2 -> 2 MgO.
Where does the energy come from when a fuel is burnt?
Hydrocarbon exothermic reaction with O2
Does magnesium turn into a metal when burnt?
Magnesium is a metal
What produces energy when burnt in an engine?
A thermic reaction resulting from the use of a form of fuel.

When magnesium is burnt in air some nitride is produced which hydrolyses to give a faint smell of ammonia. The enthalpy of formation (heat of reaction) is greater for MgO than for Mg3N2.
Does magnesium's weight increase when it is burnt?
If it is burnt with a gas such as oxygen then yes
What is form instead when magnesium is burnt in air?
It forms magnesium oxide. :)
Reaction that occurs when magnesium is burnt into air?
2Mg + O2 --> 2MgOthe reaction produces a very bright white light which can make u blind, so don't look directly to the 'flame'!
What becomes heavier after getting burnt?
Magnesium becomes heavier after it is burnt. This is because the magnesium has chemically bonded with oxygen to form magnesium oxide. The oxygen adds the extra weight.
How many products formed when magnesium burnt?
One - Magnesium Oxide (MgO)
