CuSO4 * 5H2O ----> CuSO4 + 5H2O.

This is true because CuSO4 * 5 H2O is a salt weakly bounded to water, that is why it is hydrous. When it decomposes, the weak bonds are broken making the products above.

CuSO4*5H2O formula is [Cu(OH2)4]SO4*H2O

CuSO4 + 5H2O --> [Cu(OH2)4]SO4*H2O

Heating is a physical process.
But the thermal decomposition of a compound is a chemical process.

I guess you could say that a new substance is formed. It goes from being the copper sulfate pentahydrate to being anhydrous copper sulfate. It simply loses the 5 molecules of water.
