Why does the mass of magnesium go up when it is burnt?

Answer #1

When magnesium is burnt it rects with the oxygen. This creates magnesium oxide. The oxygen also has mass so it makes sense that the two when combined will have a higher mass than the original magnesium on it’s own.

Answer #2

Cool Learn something every day :D.

Answer #3

Its also almost impossible to put out once it catches on fire. Even submerged into water it breaks the hydrogen and oxygen apart and keeps burning :D.

Answer #4
