DOES MAGNESIUM PRODUCES HEAT AND LIGHT AFTER COMBUSTION?​

Answers (1)

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.
