Why is the burning of magnesium ribbon a synthesis reaction?
Burning magnesium ribbon is a synthesis reaction because it involves the combination of magnesium with oxygen to form magnesium oxide. In this reaction, new chemical bonds are formed and a single product is produced from the combination of two reactants.
Formula of magnesium ribbon?
Science Sucks!!!!!!!! i know and im Liz i have to do a project due 2morrow and i havent even started
Why when magnesium ribbon is burnt the ash is heavier?
When Magnesium burns, it is actually combining with oxygen in the air to form a new compound, magnesium oxide. If we were to carefully weigh a piece of magnesium before and after burning it, you would see that its weight increased by about one third. For example, if you start with 100 grams of magnesium, after the burn you would end up with about 130 grams of magnesium oxide. The fact that the magnesium oxide you create by burning is powdery, means that it takes up more space (size or volume) than the solid magnesium did.
Whats an advantage for using powdered magnesium for flash photography instead of magnesium ribbon?
The powder burns much faster than the ribbon, providing a quick bright flash. The ribbon would burn more slowly, providing a longer lasting light but not as bright.See the Related Question for why a powdered substance will generally react faster.
What happens when magnesium ribbon is burnt in air?
Magnesium is an extremely reactive metal. When stored, it reacts with oxygen to form a layer of magnesium oxide on its surface. This layer of magnesium oxide is quite stable and prevents further reaction of magnesium with oxygen. The magnesium ribbon is cleaned by sand paper for removing this layer so that the underlying metal can be exposed to air.

What do you see when you burn magnesium ribbon?
it turn white as ash
Why should we not see a magnesium ribbon burn?
Burning magnesium emits ultraviolet light, which can damage your eyes.
What happens when you burn magnesium meatal?
magnesium oxide is formed
Mg ribbon continuous to burn in presence of CO 2.why?
When magnesium ribbon burns in the presence of CO2, it forms magnesium oxide and carbon. The reaction is exothermic, releasing heat to sustain the burning of the magnesium ribbon. The CO2 supplies oxygen to support combustion.

Is heat gven out or taken in from the surroundings when the magnesium ribbon burns in oxygen?
It is given out. If it were taken in, magnesium would not continue to burn when heat were removed.
What new substance formed when you burn magnesium?
mageneium oxide
