How do u balance Mg + HCl?

is it MgCl + H?

Chemistry! I was thinking physics, and seeing Mg didn't help. :)

Think about it - you have a metal reacting with an acid. What are the products of something like that? And how often do you see monatomic hydrogen wandering around?

Hint: acid + metal -> salt + water.
