    Magnisium metal
    Magnesium metal reacts with iron sulphate solution
    Wha tis the product of the reaction :confused:
    And..
    What is the name of this type of chemical reaction

    It's called substitution, see if you can guess or find the product, I'll tell you if you're right.

    Well, lets say you have magnesium ions, iron ions, and sulphate ions floating around.

    Magnesium is more reactive than iron, so which one is going to react with the sulphate?

    So what are the products?

    Huzzah!

    Well done! That wasn't too hard was it?

    You see the magnesium replaces the iron in the sulphate compound, because magnesium is more reactive than iron (see the reactivity series).
