When Magnesium metal is burnt in air then we get Magnesium oxide and lot of heat energy.
Chemical equation:
Metal + oxygen ----> Metal oxide + heat energy
2Mg +O2 ----------> 2MgO + Q
Magnesium oxide(metal oxide) is basic in nature .
MgO +H2O ------> Mg(OH)2
Magnesium hydroxide turns red litmus paper to blue .
