The chemical equation MgO + CuSO4 -> MgSO4 + Cu is translated to English as follows: Magnesium Oxide plus Copper Sulphate gives Magnesium Sulphate and Copper.

  1. Detailed information about the equation MgO + CuSO4 -> MgSO4 + Cu

The above chemical equation represents the chemical reaction between magnesium oxide (MgO) and copper(II) sulfate (CuSO4) to form magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) and copper (Cu).

  1. Reaction conditions

For the reaction to occur, sufficient temperature and pressure are required. Additionally, the reactants need to be thoroughly mixed with each other in the solution.

  1. Reaction process

When MgO comes into contact with CuSO4, the MgO molecule will exchange places with Cu in the CuSO4 molecule, forming MgSO4 and the metal copper Cu.

  1. Phenomena occurring

When the reaction occurs, there will be a precipitation phenomenon with the red color of the metal copper separating from the solution. In addition, the formed magnesium sulfate solution will be colorless (transparent).
