Solution 1
Magnesium ribbon burns with a dazzling white light and produces a white powder, which is magnesium oxide.
Reaction can be represented as:
\[\ce{2Mg + O2 -> \underset{(white powder)}{2MgO}}\]
Solution 2
- Magnesium produces a dazzling white flame while burning.
- When magnesium burns, it reacts with oxygen to form a white, powdered material.
Notes
Students should refer to the answer according to their questions.
