Yes, Mg will react with H2O according to this equation: Mg(s) + 2H2O(l) --> Mg(OH)2(aq) + H2(g).

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)
Does magnesium sulphate react with lead?
No. Lead isn't an active metal as magnesium.
Why does magnesium ribbon not react with sodium sulphate solution?
as a displacement reaction has to occur when the metal is higher in the reactivity series thatn the metal in the salt. With your question this is not the case as sodium is higher than magnesium and so nothing will take effect.
What solution will not react with magnesium?
The solutions having organic non polar solvents as Benzene, Hexane, carbon tetra chloride do not react with Magnesium.
Alkaline-earth metal do not react with oxygen?
Yes, they do. Actually, they react violently when heated and in the presence of oxygen.
Does magnesium react with aluminium sulphate?
No.Mg is less reactive than aluminum,therefore mg solution will not react with aluminum metal.
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)
Which metals don't react with water but react with oxygen?
Beryllium is the only alkaline metal that reacts to oxygen but not to water. The hydrogen in water stabilizes the reaction.
Anti-acid indigestion tablets contain magnesium hydroxide or calcium carbonate. How do they work?
Both of these substances are alkaline and they react with excess acid in the stomach to produce a Calcium or Magnesium salt solution and Carbon dioxide gas.
Does magnesium sulphate react with lead?
No. Lead isn't an active metal as magnesium.
Why does magnesium ribbon not react with sodium sulphate solution?
as a displacement reaction has to occur when the metal is higher in the reactivity series thatn the metal in the salt. With your question this is not the case as sodium is higher than magnesium and so nothing will take effect.
What is a metal that reacts to salt water but does not react to fresh water?
Magnesium. I believe Magnesium does not react to fresh water but salt water is very corrosive and will disolve the metal.
Which solution will react with magnesium metal?
Magnesium is very reactive and will react with many different solutions including those composed of acids. Example: 2HCl(aq)+Mg(s)->H2(g)+MgCl2(aq)
What solution will not react with magnesium?
The solutions having organic non polar solvents as Benzene, Hexane, carbon tetra chloride do not react with Magnesium.
What alkaline earth metal will not react with liquid water or with steam?
Beryllium
Metal that burns bright in oxygen but does not react with water?
