Question

When burned in open air, the magnesium gets hot enough to produce noticeable amounts of yellow magnesium nitride. Burning in a covered crucible that allows enough air in to support combustion will reduce the burning temperature, thus maximizing the production of the nitride.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

When magnesium burns, it is actually reacting with oxygen in the air and not with fire. Fire is what we call the heat and light produced when things burn Magnesium reacts with oxygen to make a compound called magnesium oxide. The bright light results because this reaction produces a lot of heat. so given statement is false
