Question

explain displacement reaction between zinc and magnesium sulphate

Answer 1

The elements magnesium, aluminium and iron are also considered as active metals and they react with steam to produce oxides and hydrogen gas. ... Zinc can displace copper from copper sulphate solution and iron from ferrous sulphate solution. So zinc is more reactive than iron and copper.

Answer 2

Mg + Zn SO4 ----> Mg SO4 + Zn


In this case, The magnesium, being more reactive than zinc, replaces zinc from its salt solution and a displacement reaction occurs. The resulting substances are magnesium sulphate and zinc metal.
