when adding a piece of clean magnesium and calcium into separate tubes containing 3ml of HCl acid to each, which element reacts the most vigorously
1 answer
The clean magnesium will react more vigorously with the HCl acid compared to the clean calcium. Magnesium has a higher reactivity with acids compared to calcium, so it will produce more bubbles of hydrogen gas and react more vigorously when added to the HCl acid.
