Why hydrogen is liberated when magnesium react with dilute nitric acid unlike other metals where hydrogen is not evolved?

This may due to Magnesium metal has high reactivity and concentration of nitric acid is dilute, thus magnesium reacts with H+ in water/ in nitric acid to give hydrogen

What happens when dilute hydrochloric acid is added to magnesium?
Magnesium react easily with hydrochloric acid and magnesium chloride is obtained.
What happens when magnesium is reacted with dilute sulfuric acid?
Magnesium forms Magnesium suphate and hydrogen gas when reacts with dilute sulphuric acid, Mg + H2SO4 -----> MgSO4 + H2
What gas is evolved when dilute nitric acid is added to Zinc?
hydrogen
The gas evolved when metals react with dilute acids?
When dilute acids and metals are mixed you will get Hydrogen gas and salts
When magnesium reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid what gas does it give off?
Hydrogen gas
What happens when dilute hydrochloric acid is added to magnesium?
Magnesium react easily with hydrochloric acid and magnesium chloride is obtained.
Would magnesium react with acid to form hydrogen gas?
magnesium + dilute acid=magnesium dilute hydroxide and hydrogen
What happens when magnesium is reacted with dilute sulfuric acid?
Magnesium forms Magnesium suphate and hydrogen gas when reacts with dilute sulphuric acid, Mg + H2SO4 -----> MgSO4 + H2
What gas is evolved when dilute nitric acid is added to Zinc?
hydrogen
The gas evolved when metals react with dilute acids?
When dilute acids and metals are mixed you will get Hydrogen gas and salts
What would you get if you mixed magnesium and dilute acid together?
a magnesium salt of the acid, and hydrogen gas - water is already present.
When magnesium reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid what gas does it give off?
Hydrogen gas
What gas is formed when magnesium ribbon and sulfuric acid react?
hydrogen gasmagnesium + sulfuric acid → magnesium sulfate + hydrogen
Why is sodium metal not ordinarily reacted in the laboratory even with the dilute acid?
The reaction of sodium metal with water is highly exothermic. Hydrogen gas is liberated and autoignites from the heat. With an acid, even more hydrogen gas is liberated and ignites.
What gas is formed when dilute nitric acid reacting with magnesium?
Magnesium will react with nitric acid and most other acids to produce hydrogen gas.
Would magnesium react with dilute sulfuric acid?
Sure, it will. Magnesium is a very active metal and reacts with all acids to liberate hydrogen gas.
What reaction would happen with magnesium and dilute hydrochloric acid?
Mg + 2HCl --> MgCl2 + H2 A reaction producing a salt, magnesium chloride, and hydrogen gas.
