A reaction in which the chemical element of the reactant is replaced by another to produce a product is called a single replacement reaction.
In a reaction, a hydrogen, metal or halogen element can get replaced with other more reactive elements to yield products.
The reaction of magnesium and hydrochloric produces:
The reaction can be explained as:
- The reaction between the
and
is a single displacement reaction in which the more reactive metal replaces the less reactive metal from the compound.

from chlorine to produce:
Therefore, another product formed will be magnesium chloride.
