Question

Dilute Hydrochloric acid creacks with magnesium ribbon
=) Dilute Hydrochlonic + magnesium - Magnesium chloridet +
Hydrasen gas​

Answer 1

Answer:

Magnesium reacts with hydrochloric acid according to the equation: Mg(s) + 2 HCl(aq) --> MgCl 2(aq) + H 2(g) This demonstration can be used to illustrate the characteristic reaction of metals with acid, a single replacement reaction, or to demonstrate the generation of hydrogen gas.

Answer 2

Explanation:

So, we can say that magnesium is acting as a reducing agent and hydrogen is acting as an oxidizing agent in this reaction. When magnesium ribbon reacts with hydrochloric acid, magnesium chloride will be formed and hydrogen gas is liberated.
