the produc of the reaction is

Mg(s) + CuSO4 (aq)--> MgSO4(aq) + Cu(S)+H2

***NOTE**** the H2 is coming from CuSO4 in a aqueous solution, thus H2O is involved in the reaction. I believe that this would make the precipitate call Copper (II) Oxide. Thus, shouldn't the equation be.....

Mg(s) + CuSO4 (aq) --(H2O)--> MgSO4 (aq) +CuO (s) + H2 (g)

N.B.

In the reactivity series magnesium is above copper so it will not react if magnesium already has the sulphate, but if it is performed vice versa

(CuSO4 + Mg -> MgSO4 + Cu) which is also exothermic

the magnesium is more reactive than copper so it displaces it leaving mgso4 and cu
