yes. during the ignition of the magnesium ribbon, if expose in a nitrogenous atmosphere it could result to a substance called magnesium nitride
Well it depends on the acid. For example in Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) the Magnesium would react with the HCl and replace the Hydrogen creating Magnesium Chloride and Hydrogen gas ( 2HCl + Mg ----> MgCl2 + H2 ). However mix it with other acids and nothing could happen or an even more violent reaction could occur. It all depends on what exact compound you mix it with.
The halogens would bond with magnesium in such a ration. They are fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine.
Magnesium ribbon is not particularly dangerous unless you ignite it. If it does catch fire, it will burn with an intensly bright white light that will burn your retinas if you aren't wearing appropriate eye protection or aren't looking away while it is burning. It is as bad as watching arc welding because of the ultraviolet light emitted. It is good form to wear eye protection in the lab at all times. While you can tear the ribbon with your fingers, it is possible that it could poke you in the eye and scratch your cornea.
The possible substance that could be dissolved in the water and leave behind white powder after evaporation is a salt, such as table salt (sodium chloride) or Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate).
The independent variable in the Magnesium Oxide Lab would be the Mass of the Magnesium Ribbon. This is because the mass of the product, i.e. Magnesium Oxide, depends on how much Magnesium is added.
i think it would be MAGNESIUM NITRIDE.

a. The tarnished materials on the magnesium ribbon are likely magnesium oxide or magnesium hydroxide, which form when magnesium reacts with oxygen and moisture in the air. b. Failing to remove these tarnished materials would hinder the reaction between magnesium and any reactants, such as acids, during the experiment. This could lead to reduced reaction efficiency, lower gas production, or misinterpretation of results, as the tarnished layer acts as a barrier that prevents proper contact between the magnesium and the reactants.

IF the chemical composition is the same in both rubbed and non-rubbed than the only difference could be that oxygen is more readily available in the rubbed ribbon. Which burns faster, 100 lb tree stump or 100 lbs of sawdust made from that tree stump? They are both the same material except one is more solid than the other. The sustained chemical reaction in fire needs: Heat, fuel, and oxygen. Because the rubbed ribbons allow for more oxygen to be present (like saw dust), it will burn faster.
Try working out the pH, the acidity. You can try adding indicators to it, or you can try reacting coke with a reactive metal such as magnesium ribbon. Or, you could try the coin trick... :)
Magnesium ribbon is held with tongs instead of bare hands when burned in air because it ignites at a high temperature, producing a bright white flame and intense heat. Handling it with bare hands could result in burns or injury due to the extreme heat generated during combustion. Additionally, tongs help maintain a safe distance from the reaction and prevent direct contact with the reactive metal.
I would not let them play with it. They could try to eat the fibbers off the ribbon.
Magnesium carbonate and magnesium trisilicate are not the same chemically, but both of them could be effective antacids.
Magnesium oxide. It's produced by magnesium reacting with oxygen.
