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?
There is a slight color change...We did this in a lab in class. It tarnished slightly. This may be incorrect. I'm not sure...
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 will happen if you put an iron nail in a copper sulfate solution?
The iron will react with the copper sulfate, producing iron sulfate and elemental copper.
Does copper and iron III sulfate react?
No.
What does magnesium have to react with to produce magnesium sulfate?
Magnesium will react with sulfuric acid to produce magnesium sulfate.
Will magnesium sulfate react with magnesium?
No it will not, because sulfate is not an oxidant to Mg.
What is formed when magnesium carbonate and magnesium sulfate react?
it doesn;t react
Does copper react with magnesium sulphate?
No, but magnesium ribbon will react with copper sulphate
Does magnesium react with potassium sulfate?
no

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.
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)
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.
Which salt produce when sulfuric acid and magnesium oxide react?
Magnesium Sulfate
What will happen when you react magnesium and copper sulphate?
it will form magnesium sulphate + copper
What will happen if you put an iron nail in a copper sulfate solution?
The iron will react with the copper sulfate, producing iron sulfate and elemental copper.
