Since magnesium is a more reactive metal, it will displace the copper and the anion (Which basically is the sulphate) goes to the magnesium. So the products you get out of the displacement is Magnesium sulphate, and copper alone.

I have tried this experiment before and just to tell you one thing...

During the reaction, a smell comes up, so cover your nose! :D

You don't want to smell it.

Not the copper, but what about everything else in the system? It will also slowly precipitate as it reacts with things like carbon dioxide dissolved in the water.

Suggest why magnesium chloride can be made by mixing magnesium with hydrochloric acid but copper chloride cannot be made by mixing copper with hydrochloric acid?

Copper is an inert metal and below hydrogen in electro chemical series therefore can not displaced hydrogen from acids so copper can not be converted directly to salts by reacting with acids, however concentrated sulphuric acid reacts with copper on heating in presence of atmospheric oxygen forming the copper sulphate, chlorides and other salts are prepared from its sulphate salt.
