Explanation:
The reasons as to why we choose a magnesium ribbon over a magnesium rod for burning experiments are: ... The higher surface area of the magnesium ribbon provides increased exposure to more nitrogen molecules and thus ensuring complete burning of magnesium.

Answer:
Magnesium burns in Nitrogen gas forming Magnesium Nitride (Mg3N2). It takes place only at high temperature of 800 °C. Mg3N2 is a green yellow powder. ... The powder (greenish yellow) formed will cover the surface of the rod and so experiment is not properly performed
