<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> What happens when magnesium strip is dipped in HCl solution?

Answer 1

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Magnesium metal slowly dissolves in HCl with the evolution of colourless and odourless gas. This gas burns off with a popping sound. Therefore, the chemical reaction involved can be written as:
$Mg+2HCl\to MgC{l}_2+H_2$
