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


When magnesium reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid what gas does it give off?

Hydrogen gas


What is Word equations of reaction of magnesium and iron with hydrochloric acid?

Magnesium(s) + Iron(s) + HCl(aq) -> MagnesiumChloride(aq) + Hydrogen(g) + Iron(s)Iron will not react with hydrochloric acid as magnesium is more reactive than iron , so magnesium will react with hydrochloric acid to give salt and hydrogen gas while iron is deposited.METAL + ACID -> METAL SALT + HYDROGEN GAS


How can you tell that magnesium is a metal?

Magnesium shows metallic qualities. It is a good conductor of electricity and heat. It is ductile and malleable. It reacts with acids to give the corresponding salts with evolving gaseous hydrogen.
