37 A student observes that magnesium ribbon burns in air with a bright white flame,
forming a white ash. (came in my achievement test too)
The student investigates how the mass of the magnesium changes when it is burned
in a crucible.

crucible with lid

magnesium ribbon

heat

The student measures the mass of the crucible and lid and the mass of a piece
of magnesium ribbon.
The student puts the magnesium in the crucible, places the lid on the crucible, and
heats the crucible very strongly so that the magnesium burns.
The lid prevents any ash escaping.
After the crucible has cooled, the student measures the total mass of the crucible,
lid and ash.

this investigation.
