Answer:

magnesium + hydrochloric acid → hydrogen gas + magnesium chloride

explanation:

the nitrogen in HNO3 is in the +5 oxidation state and is easily reduced. The reduction would result in the oxidation of the hydrogen gas, forming the water once again.The sulfur in H2SO4 is also in its highest oxidation state, +6.

Hope this helps :)
