Description
Displacement reaction, magnesium. Magnesium coil was added to a test tube containing a 0.2M copper (II) sulfate solution. Since magnesium is more reactive than copper, a single-displacement reaction occurred. Copper metal and magnesium sulfate formed as a result Mg + CuSO4 -> Cu + MgSO4. In this sequence the frames were taken, left to right seconds after the coil was added; after about 1 min; after about 6.5 min; after about 1 hour. Note hydrogen gas bubbles that were produced in a secondary reaction.
