Answer:
Whenever we perform any combustion reaction, the combustible material reacts with the atmospheric oxygen and produce new oxide substances.
Similarly,if we burn magnesium in open air it will create a white powder like substance which is known as the magnesium oxide.
Chemical equation :
2Mg+O2 = 2MgO . (Answer)
The produced magnesium oxide or MgO is a strong hygroscopic substance which absorbs the moisture from the atmosphere.
