Question
For the following question two statements are given – one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R).Assertion: Magnesium ribbon burns with a dazzling flame in air.Reason: A white substance magnesium nitride is formed.Select the correct answer to the question.
Solution
The Assertion is correct: Magnesium ribbon does indeed burn with a dazzling white flame when exposed to air. However, the Reason provided is incorrect. When magnesium burns, it reacts with oxygen to form Magnesium Oxide (MgO), not Magnesium Nitride. Therefore, while the Assertion is true, the Reason is false.
