Magnesium is more reactive than copper, so it will displace (swap places) with the copper forming magnesium sulphate and copper.

Does copper react with magnesium sulphate?

No, but magnesium ribbon will react with copper sulphate


What happens when copper sulfate and magnesium react?

When copper sulfate and magnesium react, a displacement reaction occurs where the magnesium displaces the copper in the solution to form magnesium sulfate and copper. The magnesium will appear to dissolve and bubbles of hydrogen gas will be released during the reaction.


Will magnesium sulfate react with magnesium?

No, magnesium sulfate will not react with magnesium because magnesium sulfate is a salt that dissolves in water to form magnesium ions and sulfate ions. Pure magnesium does not react with magnesium sulfate.


Displacement word equation for magnesium and copper sulphate?

Magnesium + Copper(II) sulfate -> Magnesium sulfate + Copper This balanced equation represents the displacement reaction between magnesium and copper sulfate, where magnesium replaces copper in the compound to form magnesium sulfate while copper is displaced.


What does magnesium have to react with to produce magnesium sulfate?

Magnesium will react with sulfuric acid to produce magnesium sulfate.


Was a strip of magnesium metal into a solution of copper sulfate a chemical change?

Yes. The magnesium metal replaces the copper in the copper sulfate. This is a single replacement or single displacement reaction.


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)


What is formed when magnesium carbonate and magnesium sulfate react?

it doesn;t react


Does magnesium ribbon in copper sulfate solution produce a gas?

Yes, when magnesium ribbon is added to copper sulfate solution, a reaction takes place where magnesium displaces copper from the solution. This reaction produces magnesium sulfate and elemental copper. No gas is formed during this reaction.


Does magnesium react with potassium sulfate?

No, magnesium does not react with potassium sulfate under normal conditions. Magnesium is a less reactive metal compared to potassium and is unlikely to displace potassium in a compound like potassium sulfate.


Does magnesium sulphate react with lead?

No. Lead isn't an active metal as magnesium.


Why does copper sulfate solution turn clear and magnesium develop a copper coating?

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.
