Solution

The correct answer is: magnesium sulfate solution and copper metal.

Here's why:

In a single displacement reaction, one element replaces another element in a compound. In this case, magnesium (Mg) replaces copper (Cu) in copper sulfate (CuSO4) to form magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) and copper metal (Cu).

The chemical equation for this reaction is:

Mg (s) + CuSO4 (aq) → MgSO4 (aq) + Cu (s)

So, when magnesium powder is added to a copper sulfate solution, the products are magnesium sulfate solution and copper metal.
