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.
i use sparklers as they contain metal fuels such as magnesium, titanium as well as others which mean they at the right temps for a high temp ignitions. Ribbon is not very stable when lit where as sparklers can withstand the strongest winds.
No, magnesium does not rust like iron does when exposed to acids. Instead, magnesium reacts with hydrochloric acid to form magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas, producing bubbles as a result of the chemical reaction.
The inside of the bulb containing magnesium is filled with a noble gas instead of air to prevent the magnesium from reacting with the oxygen and moisture present in the air. Noble gases are chemically inert, so they help to maintain a stable environment for the magnesium to efficiently produce light when ignited.
Mg(NO3)2 {note correct case for "O"} is not an element at all. Instead it is a compound of three elements, magnesium, nitrogen, and oxygen.
Yes, when magnesium ribbon is added to copper sulfate solution, a reaction takes place where magnesium displaces copper from the solution. This reaction produces magnesium sulfate and elemental copper. No gas is formed during this reaction.

It forms magnesium oxide. :)

You can substitute powdered unflavored coffee creamer for powdered milk.
Since powdered eggs are going to be scrambled or used in a recipe, it shouldn't be a problem.
One might choose photojournalistic wedding photography for their wedding occasion instead of traditional wedding photography because they are tired of the mainstream wedding practices and want to try something different and fun.
One delicious recipe that uses cookies with powdered sugar instead of granulated sugar is Russian Tea Cakes. These cookies are made with a buttery dough, rolled in powdered sugar, and baked until they are lightly golden. The powdered sugar gives them a delicate sweetness and a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
It was an early (1860-1880) type of wet plate photography that had an advantage of requiring only a very short exposure time, instead of the three to five minutes most photographic processes required at the time.
A radio that gets power from batteries instead of the outlet on the wall.
Yes
Magnesium is a stronger reducing agent than iron. The magnesium has a stronger tendency to take up the oxygen to form magnesium oxide than iron. Iron misses out on the oxygen until the magnesium is all used up.
