These are equations we got during class but we didn't have to do them. But I wanted to anyways.

CuSO₄5H₂O + Fe --> FeSO₄ + Cu + 5H₂O

CuSO₄5H₂O + Na₂CO₃ --> CO₂ + Na₂SO₄ + CuO + 2O₂ + 5H₂O

2HCl + Mg --> MgCl₂ + H₂

Ummm, is that a question?

CuSO₄5H₂O + Na₂CO₃ --> CO₂ + Na₂SO₄ + CuO + 2O₂ + 5H₂O

Above equation is incorrect
More reliable and simple, though not quite correct, is
CuSO₄^.5H₂O +Na₂CO₃ --> CuCO₃ + Na₂SO₄ + 5 H₂O

Absolutely correct is
2CuSO₄^.5H₂O +3Na₂CO₃ --> CuCO₃^.Cu(OH)₂ + 2Na₂SO₄ + 2NaHCO₃ + 9H₂O
or
3CuSO₄^.5H₂O +4Na₂CO₃ --> 2CuCO₃^.Cu(OH)₂ + 3Na₂SO₄ + 2NaHCO₃ + 14H₂O

Formally you can write also this reaction:
2CuSO₄^.5H₂O +2Na₂CO₃ --> CuCO₃^.Cu(OH)₂ + 2Na₂SO₄ + CO₂ + 10H₂O
But I never seen the evolution of carbon dioxide in this reaction

Thanks a lot. But how can the first equation you posted be "reliable" but not correct?

Copper carbonate is really formed, but in reality it should be accompanied by copper hydroxide

I see, thanks a lot. The others I assume are then correct?

Eventually add (g) after H2 and O2

Then I guess I go around with (s) after the solids, (l) after the liquids, and so on.
