there are no co efficents infront of any of the reactants or products
Magnesium burns very easily indeed and is self sustaining once it is burning. Copper is extremely difficult to burn and requires very high temperatures.
Natural gas, gasoline, fuel oil, coal, and LPG burning are all chemical reactions ( chemical changes ). The reactants ( fuel and oxygen ) react yielding primarily CO2 and H2O., which are different chemical species than the reactants.
The periodic table comprises of 118 different fundamental elements which combine in many different ways to form all substances known to man.

Copper: burns a blue-green flame
When copper burns it wont because of the elements in the copper eg pipe it wont burn it will only heat up.
When paper burns in a fire, the reactants are mostly carbon (the main substance in the paper) and oxygen(from the air).
Assuming it's copper(II) oxide, the equation for that reaction is: CuO + H2 --> H2O + Cu. Reactants: copper oxide and hydrogen gas. Products: Water and copper. Elements present: hydrogen, copper. Compounds present: copper oxide, water. Metals: copper. Non-metals: hydrogen.
The reason this question doesn't have an answer yet is most likely due to the lack of information within it. What are your reactants and how many grams are you using of each?
Assuming it's a hydrocarbon, one of the reactants will be wax, in the form CxHx+2 Another reactant would be Oxygen, in the air. The products would be water, H2O and Carbon Dioxide, CO2.
It burns away copper usually for PCB's
Sulfur
Copper burns and reacts in the air to form copper oxide, however i htink it reacts very slowly with water. Hope that helped ;)
You may have used too much of the reactants. You may have recorded the mass of the reactants or products incorrectly.
There would be no reaction because all possible outcomes are soluble in water, and if it did react your products would be the same as the reactants because you have sulfate on both of the reactants.
