☆》REASON :《☆
Powdered Mg has the greater
surface area compared to that of Mg ribbon
and the increased surface area allows the better interaction with sulfuric acid and hence more reaction takes place.

Answer:
Rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the surface area of the reactants. ie area exposed compared to particle size.
In powdered state the exposed area is much higher than in the ribbon form so it tends to react faster and more rigorously. :)
