Question

explain the combustion of magnesium ribbon

Answer 1

Answer:

When the magnesium metal burns it reacts with oxygen found in the air to form Magnesium Oxide. ... Oxygen and magnesium combine in a chemical reaction to form this compound. After it burns, it forms a white powder of the magnesium oxide. Magnesium gives up two electrons to oxygen atoms to form this powdery product.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:   When the magnesium metal burns it reacts with oxygen found in the air to form Magnesium Oxide. A compound is a material in which atoms of different elements are bonded to one another. Oxygen and magnesium combine in a chemical reaction to form this compound. After it burns, it forms a white powder of the magnesium oxide. Magnesium gives up two electrons to oxygen atoms to form this powdery product. This is an exothermic reaction as well as combination reaction.

2Mg(s)+O2 (g)→2MgO(s)+energy.
