Answer:
We know that Hydrochloric acid is a very strong acid as compared to acetic acid. Hence whenever any metal reacts with a more reactive acid , fizzing will occur more vigorously. Hence Hydrochloric acid (HCl) will react vigorously.

Answer:
Magnesium metal when reacts with an acid gives off hydrogen gas in the reaction. In test tube A fizzing occurs more vigorously because HCl is stronger acid than acetic acid. Hence, HCl liberates hydrogen gas more vigorously, which causes fizzing more vigorously
