2.19 describe the reactions of magnesium, carbon and sulfur with oxygen in air, and the acid-base character of the oxides produced

The two non-metals burn in air- giving out heat and light- to bond with oxygen.
They become non-metal oxides, which are, by nature, acids.

Magnesium will burn in air to from a metal-oxide, these are always basic.

    The carbon and sulfur react in air to form an acid which causes acid rain.
