No. This is a redox question. It is asking whether the reaction will occur spontaneously. In order for Mg+2 to spontaneously oxidize Cu(s), Mg+2 needs to have a higher reduction potential (the tendency to be reduced) than Cu+2. Check a redox table to see:
Mg2+ + 2 e− --> Mg(s) E° = −2.372
Cu2+ + 2 e− --> Cu(s) E° = +0.340 (More favorable reaction)
Cu2+ has a higher reduction potential, meaning Mg2+ will not oxidize Cu(s).

What would be seen in a reaction between copper sulphate and magnesium?
magnesium+copper sulphate =no reaction
Why does magnesium displace copper from copper sulphate?
This is a simple displacement reaction - the more reactive magnesium displaces the less reactive copper from a solution of its salt. .... magnesium + copper sulphate ---> copper + magnesium sulphate Mg + CuSO4 ----> MgSO4 + Cu the blue colour of the copper sulphate will disappear and the silver coloured magnesium will be replaced by brown-red copper metal. Hope this helps. :)
How do you prepare magnesium sulphate in lab?
Mix magnesium powder with copper sulphate. The more reactive magnesium will displace the less reactive copper.
How does copper and zinc sulphate react together?
zinc is more reactive than copper hence it displaces the copper in copper sulphate solution to become zinc sulphate and copper metal is formed
Will lead react with magnesium sulphate?
Go find out for yourself.
Does copper react with magnesium sulphate?
No, but magnesium ribbon will react with copper sulphate
What will happen when you react magnesium and copper sulphate?
it will form magnesium sulphate + copper
Why does magnesium and copper sulfate react?
Magnesium is more reactive than copper, so it will displace (swap places) with the copper forming magnesium sulphate and copper.
What does magnesium and sulphate make?
It makes magnesium sulphate, and copper.
What would be seen in a reaction between copper sulphate and magnesium?
magnesium+copper sulphate =no reaction

Displacement word equation for magnesium and copper sulphate?
magnesium+copper
Why will magnesium metal react with copper sulfate solution while copper metal will not react with magnesium sulfate solution?
Magnesium is more reactive than copper in the reactivity series (reactive metal atoms displaces less reactive metal ions from its salts).therefore : Mg displaces CU from its salt forming MgSO4 (Magnesium Sulphate)
How do you prepare magnesium sulphate in lab?
Mix magnesium powder with copper sulphate. The more reactive magnesium will displace the less reactive copper.
What does magnesium and sulphur make?
It makes Magnesium Sulphate
What acid reacts with copper to make copper sulphate?
magnesium
Iron sulphate will not react with copper why?
because copper is below iron in electrochemical series that's why it doesnt react with iron sulphate.
