Elemental copper would be a pure substance.
Magnesium + Hydrocloric acid -> Magnesium chloride + hydrogen
You can observe a single displacement reaction
"Describe to show that the has formed is hydrogen"
I don't know what you mean. I can show the chemical equation though.
Mg(s) + 2 HCl(aq) --> MgCl 2(aq) + H 2(g)
They push away from each other or repel due to the same charge they have.
