magnesium ribbon is burnt in a jar containing nitrogen gas when a white powder of magnesium nitride is obtained

OpenStudy (anonymous):

isn't it magnesium oxide?

OpenStudy (alphadxg):

Well, does nitrogen support burning?

OpenStudy (alphadxg):

Since it's been a couple of hours, and the question is worded weird, going off my judgement on what it is asking, and from what Anthony responded, Nitrogen doesn't contribute to burning of combustion so Magnesium oxide would not be formed. Magnesium nitride (Mg3N2) would be formed instead.
