Why does the pH level increase during the reaction between magnisium and hydrochloric acid?

technically, pH measures the amount of H+ in solution, so the lower the pH the more acidic the solution.. ("p" is a -log function, so pH is the same as -log of the concentration of H+)
so when magnesium reacts with the acid, the acid (the substance which dissociates to produce H+ in solution) is being used up, so there's less H+ in solution, so the acidity of the solution drop, and the pH level rises.

How does temperature affect the rate of reaction between hypo and dilute hydrochloric acid?
Up to a point, temperature will increase the rate of reaction between hypo and dilute hydrochloric acid. After a certain point, extreme temperature will completely shut down the process.
Why does the reaction stop between magnesium and hydrochloric acid?
It could stop because there wasn't enough magnesium or hydrochloric acid for the reaction to go to completion.
What is equation that describes the reaction between water and hydrochloric acid?
chlorination
Observation for the reaction between hydrochloric acid and zinc?
The reaction is: Zn + 2 HCl = ZnCl2 + H2
What happens if magnesium is added to hydrochloric acid is a singlereplacement 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.
What is the the molar heat of reaction for the reaction between hydrochloric acid and potassium hydroxide?
alkaline
How does temperature affect the rate of reaction between hypo and dilute hydrochloric acid?
Up to a point, temperature will increase the rate of reaction between hypo and dilute hydrochloric acid. After a certain point, extreme temperature will completely shut down the process.
What is the reaction between sodium chloride and hydrochloric acid?
basic
What is the reaction between hydrochloric acid and potassium metal?
There will be an strong exothermic reaction which will flame and sputter.
What is the Reaction between sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid?
The reaction is:HCl + NaOH = NaCl + H2O
What gas is involved in the reaction between sodium trioxocarbonate IV and dilute hydrochloric acid?
Carbon dioxide gas is involved in the reaction between sodium trioxocarbonate IV and dilute hydrochloric acid
Why does the reaction stop between magnesium and hydrochloric acid?
It could stop because there wasn't enough magnesium or hydrochloric acid for the reaction to go to completion.
What is equation that describes the reaction between water and hydrochloric acid?
chlorination
What is the word equation for the reaction between zinc and hydrochloric acid?
sheet
What type of energy change associated with chemical reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid?
This reaction is exothermic.
Observation for the reaction between hydrochloric acid and zinc?
The reaction is: Zn + 2 HCl = ZnCl2 + H2
What type of chemical reaction takes place as this digestive juice mixes with the acid from the stomach?
I suppose that the reaction between fruit/vegetables juices and hydrochloric acid from the stomach are not so important. Juices can increase the acidity in stomach.
