First, the balanced equation of the reaction must be considered: Mg + HCl = MgCl2 + H2 Mg + 2HCl = MgCl2 + H2. Notable results in the reaction are the liberation of the H2 which causes bubbles, and the formation of the MgCl2 which causes a foul odor.
Word Equation :
Magnesium + Hydrochloric Acid = magnesium chloride + hydrogen
Balanced Symbol Equation:
Mg + 2 HCL = MgCl2 + H2
It could stop because there wasn't enough magnesium or hydrochloric acid for the reaction to go to completion.
Magnesium Chloride.
magnesium chloride + hydrogen
Exothermic reaction
Yes, when magnesium reacts with hydrochloric acid it is a single replacement reaction. The same is true for nearly all cases of a reaction between an acid and a metal.

the limiting factor varies between the magnesium and hydrochloric acid as there needs to be enough hydrogen for every magnesium..
No, it is a single displacement reaction. It can also be called a redox reaction. It is not an acid base reaction because although hydrochloric acid is obviously and acid, magnesium is a metal, not a base.
it would make magnesium chloride
A Lewis base (magnesium) donates a pair of electrons. Magnesium goes from no charge to a 2+ charge in the reaction with hydrochloric acid.Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) --> MgCl2(aq) + H2(gas)
Magnesium reacts with acid to produce hydrogen gas. For example reaction of Magnesium with Hydrochloric acid is..... Mg +2HCl ----> MgCl2 + H2 gas
Chlorine is from hydrochloric acid.
