Answer 1

Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

1)  Magnesium oxide MgO  and copper metal (Cu).

2) Mg + CuO --->  MgO + Cu.

Answer 2

Reaction:

$\mathrm{Mg \: + \: CuO \rightarrow Cu\: + \: MgO}$

Magnesium is a stronger reducing agent than copper and is thus able to reduce copper(II) oxide.

Products of the reaction: Magnesium oxide and metallic copper.
