Answer:
When magnesium ribbon is burnt in oxygen, it forms magnesium oxide with emission of light and heat energy. Chemical formula of compound X is MgO. If the burning ribbon is placed in nitrogen gas chamber, magnesium reacts with nitrogen and forms magnesium nitride (Mg3N2). ii. If magnesium oxide is dissolved in water, it forms magnesium hydroxide.
