No reaction will take place due to less reactivity of copper .
Mix magnesium powder with copper sulphate. The more reactive magnesium will displace the less reactive copper.
Compound
Redox! The magnesium is reducing the copper while the copper is oxidizing the magnesium. In other words, magnesium is giving electrons to the copper to bring the copper back to its metallic form while the magnesium is leaving the metal to be part of the solution as magnesium sulfate, which is colorless.
When magnesium reacts with copper chloride, an exchange reaction occurs in which magnesium replaces copper, resulting in the formation of magnesium chloride and copper. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: Mg + CuCl2 → MgCl2 + Cu.
It makes Magnesium Sulphate
No reaction will take place due to less reactivity of copper .
You get copper sulphide, because a metal and a non-metal are reacting.
Mix magnesium powder with copper sulphate. The more reactive magnesium will displace the less reactive copper.
There are several ores of copper but more common are sulphide ores as Copper pyrite CuFeS2, along with iron and sulphur other contents are silicates of calcium and Magnesium.
MgSO4
Copper and sulfur.
magnesium sulphide
Magnesium+Sulphur=Magnesium Sulphide (Mg+S=MgS)
Mgs
it is magnesium sulphate that should answer your question.
Malachite is copper carbonate hydroxide. Diamond is carbon. Pyrite Is iron sulphide. Olivine is magnesium iron silicate.
