This is an exact question from the chemistry lab at SLCC. I wonder if you are in the same lab(?) Anyway, I do not believe that a precipitate will form. Sn would have to replace Mg to form SnSO4. Sn would be oxidized while Mg would be reduced. Based on the standard reduction potentials, Mg is a stronger reducing agent, meaning it would rather be oxidized. Sn is a stronger oxidizing agent, meaning it would rather be reduced. If it was the opposite way around, like if you added Mg to SnSO4, then metallic Sn would form.

Will magnesium sulfate react with magnesium?

No, magnesium sulfate will not react with magnesium because magnesium sulfate is a salt that dissolves in water to form magnesium ions and sulfate ions. Pure magnesium does not react with magnesium sulfate.


What does magnesium have to react with to produce magnesium sulfate?

Magnesium will react with sulfuric acid to produce magnesium sulfate.


What is formed when magnesium carbonate and magnesium sulfate react?

it doesn;t react


Does copper react with magnesium sulphate?

No, but magnesium ribbon will react with copper sulphate


Does magnesium react with potassium sulfate?

No, magnesium does not react with potassium sulfate under normal conditions. Magnesium is a less reactive metal compared to potassium and is unlikely to displace potassium in a compound like potassium sulfate.


Does magnesium sulphate react with lead?

No. Lead isn't an active metal as magnesium.


Which salt produce when sulfuric acid and magnesium oxide react?

Magnesium Sulfate


What happens when you put tin into magnesium sulphate solution?

When tin is placed into a magnesium sulfate solution, no reaction occurs since tin is lower in the reactivity series than magnesium. Tin does not displace magnesium from its salt solution.


What is the equation for magnesium sulfate and zinc metal?

The equation for the reaction between magnesium sulfate and zinc metal is: Zn + MgSO4 -> ZnSO4 + Mg In this reaction, zinc displaces magnesium from magnesium sulfate to form zinc sulfate and magnesium.


Will lead react with magnesium sulphate?

Lead will not react with magnesium sulfate because lead is less reactive than magnesium. Magnesium will displace lead in a single displacement reaction, but in the case of magnesium sulfate, there is no driving force for the reaction to occur.


Does tin react with iron sulphate?

Yes, tin will react with sulphuric acid as it is reactive enough. Metals which are higher than hydrogen in the reactivity series will react with sulphuric acid.


Does mg react with znso4?

No, magnesium (Mg) does not react with zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) under normal conditions. Magnesium is higher in the reactivity series than zinc, so it does not displace zinc from its sulfate compound.
