2Mg + O2 = 2MgO
The magnesium reacts with Oxygen in the air to form an oxide. It's now heavier because you have the weight of the oxygen that's chemically bonded to the Magnesium you had when you started.
when magnesium burns this reaction occurs
Mg + 1/2 O2---> MgO
So you see you have incorporated 1 oxygen to the atom Mg and the result MgO is heavier as Mg
if you take atomic weights 1 mole of Mg weighs 24g whereas 1 mole of MgO weighs 24+16=40g
