Answer 2

Clean a magnesium ribbon about 2 cm long by rubbing it with sandpaper. Hold it with a pair of tongs. Heat it using a spirit lamp. Magnesium ribbon burns with a dazzling white flame and changes into a white powder.

Collect this powder in a watch-glass. The ash-like powder so formed is magnesium oxide. Burning of magnesium is a chemical reaction. During this process, magnesium combined with oxygen to form magnesium oxide.
