The overall reaction is: Mg(s) + CuSO4(aq) --> MgSO4(aq) + Cu(s); the magnesium, because it is more reactive than copper, displaces it. The blue solution will turn reddish black with the introduction of Mg.

Answer:
when magnesium is added to copper sulphate, magnesium will displace copper from copper sulphate and magnesium will turn into magnesium sulphate due to its high reactive. This reaction is known as displacement reaction.
