Best Answer

You can make magnesium nitrate by mixing nitric acid and magnesium metal. However, the reaction creates heat and releases hydrogen gas. Depending on the percentage of nitric acid and the purity of the magnesium, depends on how much heat and how much hydrogen you'll get. I would personally be careful if trying this due to that when you have heat and hydrogen gas, you will probably get a flame. (maybe an explosion)

So be careful if you are trying this experiment!
