| Burning Magnesium in O2 and CO2 |
| 2Mg + O2 ----> 2MgO Synthesis Reaction | ||
|
Heat Out = Exothermic |
Burning In O2 | White Powder = MgO |

 |
| 2Mg + CO2 ----> 2MgO + C Single Displacement Reaction | ||
| Producing CO2 Gas | ||

|
| The Match Goes Out In CO2 | The Mg Keeps Burning In CO2 | But Notice The Black Material |
