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 are the products when metals react with strong acids?
Usually, an acid reacts with a metal to form a metal salt and hydrogen. However this depends if the metal is reactive or not. For example, magnesium, (Mg) is a violently reactive metal to hydrochloric acid; therefore, making magnesium chloride and hydrogen:Magnesium+Hydrochloric acid=Magnesium chloride+HydrogenAlso, if an experiment takes place, between a metal and a acid, bubbles will appear showing hydrogen. But remember, only with reactive metals!However, if the metal is nonreactive it will not react with dilute acids such as;sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid and nitric acid. Take copper for example. Copper is nonreactive to dilute acids. However, a brief reaction still takes place, but not all the copper will react. When the reaction takes place a layer of either copper sulfate, copper chloride, or copper nitrate will form between the dilute acid and the copper. Not all the copper has reacted, (only a layer). This layer with the remaining copper is insoluble in water, and quickly forms a coating around the copper which prevents further attacks from acids. You can also know if metals are nonreactive or reactive, by looking at the reactivity series. They go in order starting with the most reactive.Most reactive1. Potassium2. Sodium3.

What would hydrochloric acid do if it come into contact with a metal such as magnesium?
Hydrochloric acid increases the rate of oxidation of a metal such as magnesium.
Why is magnesium a noble metal?
Magnesium is not a noble metal. Magnesium is highly reactive, a noble metal is the exact opposite.
Why might magnesium metal rather than copper metal be used to study the effect of concentration of hydrochloric acid on rates of reactions?
Magnesium powder has a larger surface area, depending on quantity it may react too quickly, whereas with a ribbon the temperature change is slower and therefore easier to record and monitor the rate of reaction.
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)
Why does magnesium displace copper from copper sulphate?
This is a simple displacement reaction - the more reactive magnesium displaces the less reactive copper from a solution of its salt. .... magnesium + copper sulphate ---> copper + magnesium sulphate Mg + CuSO4 ----> MgSO4 + Cu the blue colour of the copper sulphate will disappear and the silver coloured magnesium will be replaced by brown-red copper metal. Hope this helps. :)
Why is the magnesium the most reactive metal among silver copper lead zinc and iron?
magnesium is an alkaline earth metal. silver, copper, lead, zinc, and iron are transition metals. alkaline earths are naturally more reactive then transition metals.
What is the least metal reactive in following list gold or potassium or copper or magnesium?
i belive it gold.

What element would be more reactive than magnesium?
Magnesium is more reactive than copper because if you study the periodic table, you will be able to find out that Magnesium is more reactive.Also, coins are made out of copper, they choose copper because it is cheap and extremely unreactive.Furthermore, I've done an experiment to find out that Magnesium is more reactive than Copper by putting both elements into Water/Acid.
What would hydrochloric acid do if it come into contact with a metal such as magnesium?
Hydrochloric acid increases the rate of oxidation of a metal such as magnesium.
Is magnesium highly reactive or non reactive?
Magnesium is one of the more reactive metals; it rarely exists in nature elementally.
Why is magnesium a noble metal?
Magnesium is not a noble metal. Magnesium is highly reactive, a noble metal is the exact opposite.
Which is the most reactive iron zinc magnesium copper?
Sodium is by far the most reactive. It self ignites in air (it is stored in oil), reacts vigorously with water (releasing hydrogen) and reacts explosively in acids-even dilute. But the most reactive metal is Cesium and the most reactive non-metal is Flourine Cesium and H20 will explode...

Is copper a reactive metal?
yes! but its not a strong reactive
