Answer: Magnesium ribbon should be cleaned before burning because a thin layer of magnesium oxide (MgO) forms on its surface when it reacts with oxygen in air. This layer prevents magnesium from burning properly. Cleaning removes the oxide layer and helps the magnesium ribbon burn easily with a bright white flame. Topic Explanation Magnesium is a very reactive metal. When it remains exposed to air, it reacts slowly with oxygen. The reaction is: 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO Here: Mg = Magnesium O₂ = Oxygen MgO = Magnesium oxide The magnesium oxide forms a dull white coating on the ribbon. Important Concept This reaction is a: ➤ Combination Reaction Because two substances combine to form one produc...
