Question

what happen when magnesium metal is added to copper sulphate

Answer 1

Magnesium (Mg) is a more reactive metal than the copper(Cu) in the aqueous copper (II)sulfate. When you place a solidMg ribbon into the blue CuSO4 solution, a metal displacement reaction occurs. ... Remember that displacement only occurswhen a more reactive metaldisplaces a less reactive one......

Answer 2

The single replacement reaction of Magnesium and Copper Sulfate produce:

Mg + CuSO4 → MgSO4 + Cu

Theoretically, if Magnesium is placed in Copper Sulfate solution, a single replacement reaction occurs. Copper solid is displaced and the magnesium loses electrons to copper ions. This is the case because Magnesium is more reactive than the metal Copper in CuSO4. 

**Update: Magnesium will replace Copper in Copper Sulfate because Magnesium has higher tendency to oxidize compared to Copper.
