Magnesium reacts with dilute Sulphur acid to form Magnesium sulfate and Hydrogen gas.

Mg(s) + H2SO4(aq) + H2(g)

This reaction is a single displacement reaction and also exothermic.

Therefore, the balanced chemical equation for the reaction of magnesium solid with sulfuric acid to form hydrogen gas and magnesium sulfate is

Mg(s) + H2SO4(aq) + H2(g)
