Not by electromotive action; magnesium would replace copper instead. However, a divalent copper cation conceivably could replace a divalent magnesium ion in a complex mineral such as a silicate or aluminate.
Yes, there is a reaction between magnesium (Mg) and CuCl2 (copper (II) chloride). When magnesium reacts with copper (II) chloride, it displaces copper from the compound, forming magnesium chloride (MgCl2) and copper metal (Cu).
When you mix magnesium with copper nitrate, a single displacement reaction occurs. Magnesium will replace copper in the compound, forming magnesium nitrate and copper metal. This reaction is represented by the equation Mg + Cu(NO3)2 -> Mg(NO3)2 + Cu.
The activity series of metals goes something like this: Lithium Potassium Barium Calcium Sodium Magnesium Aluminum Zinc Iron Nickel Tin Lead Hydrogen Copper Mercury .............and so on..... ps, I might have left some elements out....can't remember them all... Since magnesium is higher in the reactivity series of metals, it can replace copper in a reaction. Copper is lower in the activity series of metals therefore can not replace magnesium.
Calcium Chloride, Cuprous Chloride/Copper Monochloride, Silver Chloride, Magnesium Phosphide
Sulfur oxides are covalent compounds.
Zinc displace iron. Iron displace copper.
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.
Magnesium + copper oxide --> magnesium oxide + copper
Yes, magnesium reacts with copper nitrate to form magnesium nitrate and copper. The reaction involves the displacement of copper from the copper nitrate solution by magnesium.
You get a grey powder because magnesium is higher up in the reactivity series than Copper - (magnesium is more reactive than copper) therefore when you heat it up there is a displacement reaction. That grey powder is actully magnesium oxide and copper e.g Copper oxide + magnesium = magnesium oxide and copper.
When magnesium is mixed with copper nitrate, a single displacement reaction occurs. The magnesium will displace the copper in the copper nitrate, forming magnesium nitrate and copper metal. This reaction is also a redox reaction as magnesium is oxidized and copper is reduced.
No, but magnesium ribbon will react with copper sulphate
