Pieces of magnesium ribbon react with copper(II) sulfate solution. Magnesium sulfate solution is colourless.
Mg(s)+CuSO4(aq)→MgSO4(aq)+Cu(s) \text{Mg(s)} + \text{CuSO}_4\text{(aq)} \rightarrow \text{MgSO}_4\text{(aq)} + \text{Cu(s)} Mg(s)+CuSO4(aq)→MgSO4(aq)+Cu(s)Describe two observations you would make when an excess of magnesium is added to blue copper(II) sulfate solution and the mixture is left until the reaction is complete.
