Is there a reaction between magnesium and magnesium?

Magnesium is a reactive metal in groupe two of the periodic table and reacts with oxygen gas in group six to produce Magnesium Oxide. The reaction is as follows: 2Mg + O2 gives 2MgO

Mg + 2H2O --> Mg(OH)2 + H2 the products are magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas This reaction is slow.

Mg(s)+ 2H2O(l) --> Mg(OH)2(aq)+H2(g)

magnesium + hydrochloric acid --> magnesium chloride + hydrogen (gas) Mg + 2 HCl ==> MgCl2 + H2 ↑
