Answer:
2Mg + O2 = 2MgO
Thus when magnesium is heated/burned in air, it reacts with atmospheric oxygen and gives rise to the production of Magnesium Oxide(MgO). In this reaction a new chemical compound is formed and thus it is a chemical change.
The total weight remains the same in the reaction.
There is a new substance MgO formed after reaction.
