Watch Magnesium Ribbon Burn Brightly: Simple Chemistry Experiment ✨

Burning of Magnesium Ribbon.<br />Let's start the experiment.<br />Bring a small piece of magnesium ribbon.<br />Hold the ribbon with a pair of tongs.<br />Start the burner.<br />Hold the tip of the ribbon next to the flame of the burner.<br />The ribbon burns with a bright white light.<br />Intense heat is also produced in this reaction.<br />Here, when magnesium burns, it reacts with the oxygen found in air to form a powdery ash called magnesium oxide.<br />Chemical equation: Magnesium plus Oxygen gives Magnesium oxide.<br />Safety instructions:<br />Wear goggles while performing this experiment.<br />Children should not be allowed to do this experiment.<br />Do not look directly at the bright white light.<br />Make sure you hold the ribbon securely with tongs.
