What will you see if magnesium ribbon is added to a copper solution?

The ribbon starts to break up at the surface, a brown solid forms(copper metal), and the solution eventually becomes colourless (from losing copper ions)

What would you see if you dropped a piece of magnesium ribbon into some copper sulphate solution in a test tube?

A strip of magnesium metal into a solution of copper sulfate?
When we did it the other day what happened was this: the magnesium caused tiny bubbles and little dots of black fell to the bottom of the test tube (Copper I guess). When the reaction stopped, the liquid was still blue. We tried heating the mixture and got a bit more bubbles and 'dots' then we left the test tube for several days. Now the magnesium is coated with a pretty turquise coating of something, the solution is still blue, the dots are still black at the bottom of the tube. So CuSO4 + H2O + Mg should give you MgSO4 (which is soluble) and Cu. I do not know what we have actually got. The chemicals came from a chemistry set...the CaOH was equally not 'right' or rather it was far less 'basic' that I expected hmmm.
What happens when ammonia is added to copper sulfate?
When Ammonia solution is added to Copper sulphate, at first a precipitate of Copper hydroxide is formed. If excess ammonia is added, finally a deep bluish solution of Tetraamine Copper(II) Sulfate is formed
What would happen if you added iron to a solution of magnesium sulphate?
No Reaction
What can be added to a solution of Cu2 (aq) Mg2 (aq) and Sr2 (aq) ions to precipitate the Sr2 (aq) ions but not the others?
Add a sodium hydroxide solution; copper and magnesium hydroxides are insoluble. Strontium hydroxide is low soluble.

What happens when copper is added to magnesium sulphide?
No reaction will take place due to less reactivity of copper .
What happens when ammonia is added to copper sulfate?
When Ammonia solution is added to Copper sulphate, at first a precipitate of Copper hydroxide is formed. If excess ammonia is added, finally a deep bluish solution of Tetraamine Copper(II) Sulfate is formed
What is the colour of the solution if zinc is added to copper sulphate solution?
No colour

What happens when copper sulphate is added to water?
Formation of a copper sulfate solution in water. This solution has a herbicide and fungicide effect.
What would happen if magnesium is added to a solution of sodium hydrogen sulphate?
I haven't a clue
Saturated solution of calcium hydroxide is added to a solution of magnesium chloride?
2(OH) + Mg ------> Mg(OH)2
What happens when sodium hydroxide is added to copper sulphate solution?
Nothing
What happens when copper sulfate was added to water?
The solution will turn yellow
