Finely divided magnesium would reduce the zinc, itself being oxidized.

$M g (s) + Z n {(N O_{3})}_{2} (a q) \to M {g (N O_{3})}_{2} (a q) + Z n ⏐ ↓$ $Mg(s) + Zn(NO_3)_2(aq) rarr Mg(NO_3)_2(aq) + Zndarr$

Magnesium metal tops zinc metal on the activity series. Magnesium would reduce zinc.

What are the products of Mg(s)+Zn(NO_3)_2 (aq) ->Mg(s)+Zn(NO3)2(aq)→Mg(s)+Zn(NO_3)_2 (aq) ->?
