It isn't necessarily wrong

2 Mg + CO2 -> 2 MgO + C

So put burning magnesium in carbon dioxide, the magnesium nicks the oxygen from the carbon dioxide and then forms magnesium oxide (leaving carbon residue)

It's forming an OXIDE whatever else is going on an OXIDE needs......errr...Oxygen! derr!

Carbon dioxide.

It's a reaction. A displacement reaction.

The final product is magnesium oxide (+ carbon).

I know oxygen was the expected answer but is an answer of CO2 actually as laughable as you think
