Solution
The white ash 'A' that forms when Samir burns a magnesium ribbon is magnesium oxide (MgO).
The balanced chemical reaction for the process is:
\(\rm 2Mg\) + \(\rm O_{2}\) → \(\rm 2MgO\)
In this reaction, magnesium (Mg) reacts with oxygen in the air to produce magnesium oxide (MgO). It is a combination reaction.
