Replies marshmellowman Posted at 5:06 pm on Jan. 6, 2009 I think it would just be a redox reaction so magnesium gives two electrons to copper. Mg -> Mg2+ + 2e- Cu2+ + 2e- -> Cu Overall therefore it'd be: Mg (s)  +  Cu2+ (aq) ->  Mg2+ (aq)  +  Cu(s) hi sarah Posted at 5:05 pm on Jan. 6, 2009 Mg(s) + Cu2+(aq) -----> Mg2+(aq) + Cu(s) joker678 Posted at 4:59 pm on Jan. 6, 2009 Quote: from boombabyboom at 4:57 pm on Jan. 6, 2009 I have a D- in chem.
