What else is produced during the replacement reaction of magnesium and hydrochloric acid?

mg + 2hcl → h2 +

Magnesium Chloride is produced other than hydrogen gas in the following reaction.

Explanation:

The given reaction is a type of single displacement reaction. This reaction is defined as the reaction in which a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal in a chemical reaction.

For the reaction of magnesium and hydrochloric acid, magnesium metal is more reactive than hydrogen, so it will easily displace hydrogen from its chemical reaction.

The equation follows:

By Stoichiometry,

1 mole of magnesium metal reacts with 2 moles of hydrochloric acid to produce 1 mole of magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas.

Hence, the other product formed in the given reaction is magnesium chloride.
