The reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid combine to form a salt of magnesium chloride and release hydrogen gas. This single replacement reaction is a classic example of a metal reacting in an acid to release hydrogen gas.

The balanced chemical equation is: ##Mg_((s))+ 2HCl_((aq))rarrMgCl_(2(aq)) + H_(2(g)##
