Independent variable: Magnesium being reacted
Dependent variable: Amount of hydrogen gas produced

Explanation:

The independent variable is the input variable (i.e. the variable which is changed). Since we start the reaction by using magnesium, this is the independent variable.

The dependent variable is the output variable (i.e. the variable which is measured). Since we measure the amount of hydrogen gas produced, this is the dependent variable.

Hope that makes sense!
