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.
Does copper displace zinc from zinc sulphate?
No, zinc will displace copper from copper sulphate but not the other way around.
What would be seen in a reaction between copper sulphate and magnesium?
magnesium+copper sulphate =no reaction
What two things happen when zinc is added to copper sulphate?
The Zinc will displace the copper. It will become Zinc Sulphate. The word equation will be Zinc + Copper Sulphate -----> Copper + Zinc Sulphate. Hope this helps!
Zinc can displace copper from copper sulphate solution because zinc is?
More reactive than copper.
How do you prepare magnesium sulphate in lab?
Mix magnesium powder with copper sulphate. The more reactive magnesium will displace the less reactive 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.
Does copper displace zinc from zinc sulphate?
No, zinc will displace copper from copper sulphate but not the other way around.
What will happen when you react magnesium and copper sulphate?
it will form magnesium sulphate + copper
Does copper react with magnesium sulphate?
No, but magnesium ribbon will react with copper sulphate
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
How do you displace silver from copper sulphate solution?
With science!
What two things happen when zinc is added to copper sulphate?
The Zinc will displace the copper. It will become Zinc Sulphate. The word equation will be Zinc + Copper Sulphate -----> Copper + Zinc Sulphate. Hope this helps!
What happens when magnesium reacts with copper sulphate?
Since magnesium is a more reactive metal, it will displace the copper and the anion (Which basically is the sulphate) goes to the magnesium. So the products you get out of the displacement is Magnesium sulphate, and copper alone. I have tried this experiment before and just to tell you one thing... During the reaction, a smell comes up, so cover your nose! :D You don't want to smell it.
What does magnesium and sulphur make?
It makes Magnesium Sulphate
