You can make magnesium nitrate by mixing nitric acid and magnesium metal. However, the reaction creates heat and releases hydrogen gas. Depending on the percentage of nitric acid and the purity of the magnesium, depends on how much heat and how much hydrogen you'll get. I would personally be careful if trying this due to that when you have heat and hydrogen gas, you will probably get a flame. (maybe an explosion)
So be careful if you are trying this experiment!
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.
Mg(NO3)2 is called magnesium nitrate. You do not use the prefix di for the nitrate since this is an ionic compound, and it can only be (NO3)2 as nitrate has a -1 charge and Mg has a +2 charge.
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 Reaction
No, as magnesium is more reactive, and would 'keep' the nitrate.
Magnesium, nitrogen and oxygen are mainly what Magnesium nitrate is made up of. The formula is Mg(NO3)2.

You don't: Magnesium nitrate is already neutral!

There are 0.13 moles in 20 grams of magnesium nitrate.
Silver nitrate breaks down more easily than magnesium nitrate. When exposed to light, silver nitrate decomposes into silver and nitrogen oxides. Magnesium nitrate, on the other hand, requires higher temperatures to decompose into magnesium oxide and nitrogen dioxide.

No, as magnesium is more reactive, and would 'keep' the nitrate.
Magnesium Oxide + Nitric Acid -----> Magnesium Nitrate + Water. Hope this helps.
The chemical formula of magnesium nitrate is Mg(NO3)2.
The precipitate formed when magnesium nitrate and sodium carbonate are mixed is magnesium carbonate. This is because sodium nitrate is soluble in water, leaving magnesium carbonate as the insoluble compound that precipitates out of the solution.
