This is a simple displacement reaction - the more reactive magnesium displaces the less reactive copper from a solution of its salt. ....
magnesium + copper sulphate = copper + magnesium sulphate
Mg + CuSO4 ----%26gt; MgSO4 + Cu
the blue colour of the copper sulphate will disappear and the silver coloured magnesium will be replaced by brown-red copper metal.
Hope this helps.Magnesium powder+Copper sulphate+water=?
-%26gt; MgSO4(aq) + Cu(s)
The reaction is exothermic so you could informally write:
-%26gt; MgSO4(aq) + Cu(s) +'heat'
