This is a redox question. In order for Mg2+ to oxidize Fe(s), Mg2+ needs to have a higher reduction potential (tendency to be reduced) than Fe2+.
Mg2+ + 2 e− --> Mg(s) E° = −2.372 Volts
Fe2+ + 2 e− --> Fe(s) E° = −0.44 Volts (More favorable reaction)
Fe2+ has a higher reduction potential than Mg2+, so Mg+2 will not oxidize Fe(s).
Iron Sulfate can refer to either Fe2(SO4)3 or FeSO4. Both react with magnesium because magnesium is higher on the activity series of metals than iron.
FeSO4 + Mg [arrow] MgSO4 + Fe
Fe2(SO4)3 + 3Mg [arrow] 3MgSO4 + 2Fe
yes because magnesium is higher on the reactivity scale than iron
Iron doesn't react with magnesium sulfate.
No, Mg is not a reductant for sulfate.
no
yes but people aren't saying why...
yes

Magnesium Sulphate and Zinc magnesium + zinc sulphate = magnesium sulphate + zinc By Moin Hussain
Iron(Fe) + Copper Sulphate(CuSO4) → Iron Sulphate(Fe2SO4) + Copper(Cu)[Displacement Reaction]
No, as magnesium is more reactive, and would 'keep' the nitrate.
No Reaction
Any reaction occur.

Magnesium sulfate hydrate: MgSO4.7H2O.Copper sulfate hydrate: CuSO4.5H2O.
Mg + FeSO4 --> Fe + MgSO4
Fe + MgSO4 --> FeSO4 + Mg Fe(iron)is more reactive than mg( magnesium) ........ therefore iron will displace magnesium....... hence it is a displacement reaction.............
It makes Magnesium Sulphate
because copper is below iron in electrochemical series that's why it doesnt react with iron sulphate.
