Well it depends on the acid. For example in Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) the Magnesium would react with the HCl and replace the Hydrogen creating Magnesium Chloride and Hydrogen gas ( 2HCl + Mg ----> MgCl2 + H2 ). However mix it with other acids and nothing could happen or an even more violent reaction could occur. It all depends on what exact compound you mix it with.
