Water was stuck to the outside surface of the crucible and the student did not dry it before measuring the final weight
Formation of magnesium nitride as a side product.
Insufficient air to react with all magnesium.
O The student mistakenly recorded the mass of magnesium as 1.8 g instead of 0.18 g
Rapid oxidation of magnesium which causes a loss of some Mg.
