Magnesium ribbon be cleaned before it is burning in air so that the unwanted impurities deposited on it can be removed and only pure magnesium can burn.
no
Because magnesium is very reactive metal. It can react with air and forms magnesium oxide which is unable to burn. So it cleaned with sandpaper before burning.
