No. Instead, the magnesium ribbon is dissolved and metallic copper precipitates.
When magnesium metal is added to a solution of copper sulfate, a displacement reaction occurs where magnesium replaces copper in the compound. This is because magnesium is more reactive than copper. As a result, magnesium sulfate is formed, while solid copper is deposited as a residue.
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.
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.
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.
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)
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.
Yes. The magnesium metal replaces the copper in the copper sulfate. This is a single replacement or single displacement reaction.

When aluminum is mixed with copper sulfate, the aluminum reacts with the copper ions in the copper sulfate solution and displaces the copper, forming aluminum sulfate and copper metal. Magnesium does not play a direct role in this reaction.
Sulfuric acid reacts with copper to produce copper sulfate. Copper sulfate is formed when copper reacts with sulfuric acid in the presence of oxygen.
The solute in a copper sulfate solution is copper sulfate (CuSO4).
A displacement reaction takes place as magnesium is above copper in the electrochemical series. This reaction would produce copper (Cu) and magnesium sulphate (MgSO4) (sorry i cant find an arrow symbol for below) Mg + CuSO4 (arrow) Cu + MgSO4
No, but magnesium ribbon will react with copper sulphate
