Question

What is the ionic equation for dilute hydrochloric acid and magnesium

Answer 1

Magnesium react with hydrochloric acid according to the equation :

Mg(s)+2HCL(aq)----->MgCL2(aq) +H2(g)

This demonstration can be used to illustrate the characteristics reactions of metals with acid , a single replacement reaction ,or to demonstrate the generation of hydrogen gas.

Answer 2

Mg(s) + 2H⁺(aq) ⟶ Mg²⁺(aq) + H₂(g)

Explanation:

A net ionic equation shows all the ionic substances as ions and shows the correct state of each substance.
