Acitivity : to show the burning of magnesium is a chemical change
When a magnesium ribbon is heated ,it burns in air with a dazzling white falme to form a white powder called magnesium oxide. Actually , on heating , magnesium combines with oxygen present in air to form magnesium oxide:
Magnesium + oxygen ~heat ~ magnesium oxide
The burning of magnesium in air to form magnesium oxide is an example of a chemical reaction.so,before burning in air ,the magnesium ribbon is cleared by rubbing with a sand paper. This is done to remove the protective layers of basic magnesium carbonate from the surface of magnesium ribbon.
