$M g C l_{2} (s) ⇌ M g^{2 +} + 2 C l^{-}$ $MgCl_2(s) rightleftharpoons "Mg^(2+) + 2Cl^-$ . Or did you mean the action of the acid on magnesium metal?

$M g (s) + 2 H C l (a q) \to M g C l_{2} (a q) + H_{2} (g) ↑ ⏐$ $Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) rarr MgCl_2(aq) + H_2(g)uarr$

The equation immediately above is the balanced equation for oxidation of magnesium.

Magnesium+ Hydrochloric acid $\to$ $rarr$ Magnesium chloride+Hydrogen gas

Balanced Equation

$Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq)$ $"Mg(s)"+"2HCl(aq)"$ $\to$ $rarr$ ${MgCl}_{2} (aq) {+H}_{2} (g)$ $"MgCl"_2("aq")"+H"_2("g")"$
