Question

Write a word equation for the reaction between magnesium and copper sulphate solution to form magnesium sulphate and copper

Answer 1

Explanation:

When you place a solid Mg ribbon into the blue CuSO4 solution, a metal displacement reaction occurs. 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 2

Reaction between Magnesium metal and Copper sulphate (II) is a replacement reaction

Explanation:

Reaction between Magnesium metal and Copper sulphate (II) solution to form magnesium sulphate and copper

CuSO₄ + Mg → MgSO₄ + Cu

This reaction is a replacement reaction.

Here Magnesium metal replaces Copper from Copper Sulphate and forms magnesium sulphate and producing  Copper metal
