According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, matter can neither be created nor destroyed, only change forms.
Therefore, if you burn magnesium inside of a closed container, the mass will remain the same.
----
However you will get heavier ash than you had magnesium as the Oxygen in the air in your container will be transfered. But Total Mass is conserved.
What else can I help you with?
What happen to the original magnesium after it has been burned?
If completely burnt (in excess of oxygen), all the magnesium will be converted to magnesium oxide.
What is the name of the powder when magnesium has burnt?
the epsom salt of magnisium is used as theTalcum powder.
Is magnesium still a metal after it has been burnt?
After burning it is converted into Magnesium oxide which is a metallic oxide not a metal.
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.
What happens whilst burning magnesium?
a white spark light comes out of it! and the temperature goes higherAdditional answerAnd the magnesium combines with oxygen and forms magnesium oxide (MgO)
What happens Mg is burnt in air?
The product is magnesium oxide MgO.
Does magnesium turn into a metal when burnt?
No, magnesium is already a metal. When burnt, magnesium reacts with oxygen to form magnesium oxide, releasing a bright white light in the process.
What is the word equation for when magnesium is burnt?
When magnesium is burnt, it reacts with oxygen to produce magnesium oxide. The word equation for this reaction is: magnesium + oxygen → magnesium oxide.
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. :)
How many products formed when magnesium burnt?
One - Magnesium Oxide (MgO)
What comes when magnesium ribbon is burnt?
a bright light is created and it then creates magnesium oxide
What happen to the original magnesium after it has been burned?
If completely burnt (in excess of oxygen), all the magnesium will be converted to magnesium oxide.
What does magnesium react with when burnt?
Oxygen in the air (O2)
What compound is formed when magnesium is burnt?
Magnesium oxide (MgO) is formed. When a piece of magnesium ribbon is burnt it reacts with oxygen in air according to the chemical equation: 2Mg(s) + O2(g) → 2MgO(s) The magnesium burns in a bright white light and the resulting magnesium oxide is in the form of a white powder.
What reaction is it when magnesium is burnt in air?
When magnesium is burnt in air, it undergoes a combustion reaction, producing magnesium oxide (MgO) and releasing a bright white light. This reaction is highly exothermic, meaning it releases a large amount of heat energy.
When magnesium is burnt in the air is it a chemical change?
Yes. Magnesium burns in air brightly giving Magnesium oxide, witch is a chemical change.
