In the replacement reaction between magnesium (Mg) and hydrochloric acid (HCl), magnesium reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas (H₂) and magnesium chloride (MgCl₂).
The balanced equation for the reaction is:
\[ \text{Mg} + 2\text{HCl} \rightarrow \text{H}_2 + \text{MgCl}_2 \]
So, the correct answer to fill in the blank is:
**MgCl2**.
