Answer:

the reaction of sulphuric acid and Magnesium metal is as follows:

Mg + H2SO4 ---> MgSO4 + H2

In this reaction, hydrogen gas is evolved from the test tube in this reaction.  and as we bring the candle near the mouth of the test tube, this hydrogen gas burns explosively in the presence of air with a pop sound.
