to remove its protecting covering of magnesium carbonate? is it


AzaanSaifi: Because the primary use of magnesium carbonate is the production of magnesium oxide by calcining. Magnesite and dolomite mineralsare used to produce refractory bricks.MgCO3 is also used in flooring, fireproofing, fire extinguishing compositions, cosmetics, dusting powder, and toothpaste. Other applications are as filler material, smoke suppressant in plastics, a reinforcing agent in neoprene rubber, a drying agent, a laxative to loosen the bowels, and color retention in foods.

Sarvagya234: so it is right
AzaanSaifi: yeah but i also checked

Hey buddy...
Here you go..!!
It is advised to clean magnesium ribbon before cleaning because magnesium ribbon will be covered by unwanted impurities and when burnt in air it may not burnt properly. Therefore it is cleaned so that all the unwanted impurities are removed and we burn only pure magnesium ribbon..

Hope this helps you...
