Calcium plus nitric acid would be very similar producing a salt plus Hydrogen gas and be extremely vigorous.
It could stop because there wasn't enough magnesium or hydrochloric acid for the reaction to go to completion.
magnesium chloride + hydrogen
Magnesium Chloride.
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.
it would make magnesium chloride

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.
Magnesium reacts with acid to produce hydrogen gas. For example reaction of Magnesium with Hydrochloric acid is..... Mg +2HCl ----> MgCl2 + H2 gas
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)
Chlorine is from hydrochloric acid.
Chlorine is from hydrochloric acid.
