Answered by sahi12

hey friend ,

Magnesium ribbon must be cleaned before burning in air so that the layer of magnesium oxide (which is formed due to reaction of magnesium with air) can be removed in order to get the desired chemical reaction.

ManjiriKhodke: No friend, but Magnesium ribbon is cleaned before burning so that coating of impurity (such as oxide) formed on its surface is removed and so magnesium becomes pure

sahi12: ok

Your answer :

Magnesium ribbon is cleaned before burning it in air in order to remove oxide layer, presence of which slowdowns the oxidation process. So, by cleaning it, the burning process takes place easily.

Hope this helps.

Have a nice day =)
