Why should a magnesium ribbon be cleaned before burning in air?​

The magnesium ribbon should be cleaned before burning in the air because the layer of magnesium OXIDE (which is formed DUE to the reaction of magnesium with air ) can be removed in order to get the desired chemical reaction. Also in order to remove the oxide layer, the PRESENCE of which slowdowns the oxidation PROCESS.
