Question

Magnesium and Copper Sulfate react to form Magnesium Sulfate and Copper in the following equation.

Mg + CuSO4 -> MgSO4 + Cu

Answer 1

B: Single Displacement Reaction

Step-by-step explanation:

A single replacement reaction, sometimes called a single displacement reaction, is a reaction in which one element is substituted for another element in a compound.

A + BX -> B + AX

For example:

Cation Replacement

Zn + CuCl2 -> ZnCl2 + Cu

Anion Replacement

Br2 + 2Ki -> 2KBr + I2

You just switch either the cation with another anion or switch an anion with another cation.

Hope it helped!
