If you burn magnesium in oxygen what do you get?

The magnesuim melts and the reaction of it is it produces a bright light ! then when it has cooled down the magnesuim turns into magnesuim oxide because the magnesuim and oxygen attach together because the particles mix together to make magesuim oxide! :)

How if the magnesuim is not polished would the reported mole ratio of oxygen to magnesium be too high too lowor unaffected?

If the magnesium is not polished, there may be impurities or oxides on the surface that could affect the reported mole ratio of oxygen to magnesium. This could result in a higher reported mole ratio due to the presence of excess oxygen-containing compounds on the surface, leading to an inaccurate measurement of the actual ratio of oxygen to magnesium.
