Question

State your observations when magnesium is placed in saturated solution of copper sulphate.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnesium will displace copper ions from its saturated solution.

When magnesium(Mg) is placed in a saturated copper sulphate solution(i.e. Cuso4), Magnesium will replace copper from its solution and magnesium sulphate will form.

$Mg + CuSO_{4} ---> MgSO_{4} + Cu$

Displacement reaction.

More reactive metal displaced the less reactive metal from its solution.
