MgSO4 + H2SO4  what does it yield?

haf tried to search the net for this equation but to no avail. did the experiment. got an exothermic one.


thanks

budullewraagh:
it was probably just the Mg and SO4 bond being broken.  the two cannot react.

kivine:
well, here is the instruction of the experiment

Place a pea-sized amount of Epsom salts , MgSO4 in a small, clean test tube that has been rinsed with distilled water.

Add 1-2 drops of 18M sulfuric acid.Descibe your observations.

budullewraagh:
18M H2SO4 would break the bonds reeeeal easily.  that's what it is.

ssssss:
Well if it would have been any halogen then the a displacemoent reaction could have been occured But since SO4 is attached with Mg it could not be replaced by another SO4 of Sulphuric acid.
