If it is performed in an acid, such as sulphuric acid (H2SO4) it is a wet cell bettery. The energy comes from the acid.

Why is zinc copper sulphate - zinc sulphate copper a displacement reaction?
it is because zinc is more reactive than copper. thus it can replace copper from its compound. displacement reaction is the reaction in which the more reactive element replaces the less reactive element from its compound. hence zinc is replacing copper from its compound. Obviously it is a displacement reaction.
Why zinc sulphate and copper have displacement reaction?
No, copper is less reactive than zinc. The sulphate ion stays attached to the zinc.
What will happen when copper is put in zinc nitrate solution?
Nothing. Zinc is more reactive than copper, and zinc has already undergone oxidation to become an ion (remember, zinc nitrate is soluble.) So the copper will just sit there because it's not reactive enough to do anything.
What would be seen coating the zinc strips in the reaction zinc and iron sulphate?
Hi there, I am not very sure what the coating is called but i think it is iron oxide. lolxx
A metal which cannot replace zinc from zinc sulfate solution?
Copper is a metal that cannot replace zinc from zinc sulfate solution. This is because copper has a lower reactivity than zinc and cannot displace it in a chemical reaction.

How does zinc sulphate reacts with copper?
This reaction is not possible.
Why does zinc reacts with DI sulfuric acid to give hydrogen gas but not copper?
If you look at reactivity series, you will find zinc to be more reactive than hydrogen while copper being less reactive than it. Therefore zinc is able to displace hydrogen from sulphuric acid while copper is not. The reaction with zinc is:- Zn + H2SO4 -------> ZnSO4 +H2 The reaction with copper is Cu + H2SO4 ---------> No reaction
Zinc reacting with copper sulfate to produce copper and zinc sulfate isn't an example of transmulation why?
Transmutation refers to a nuclear reaction. The equation you have is that of single replacement - a type of a chemical reaction.
What will happen when copper is put in zinc nitrate solution?
Nothing. Zinc is more reactive than copper, and zinc has already undergone oxidation to become an ion (remember, zinc nitrate is soluble.) So the copper will just sit there because it's not reactive enough to do anything.
Why is the following statement not an example of a transmutation Zinc reacts with copper sulfate to produce copper and zinc sulfate?
Transmutation refers to a nuclear reaction. The equation you have is that of single replacement - a type of a chemical reaction.
Is zinc plus cupric sulfate equals zinc sulfate plus copper a single displacement reaction?
Yes: Elemental zinc displaces copper from its compounds because zinc is higher in the electromotive series.
Where is the excess copper from after adding zinc to copper sulfate?
The "excess" metallic copper produced by adding zinc metal to a copper sulfate solution comes from exchanging zinc atoms from the metal for copper atoms from the copper sulfate solution. During the reaction, the zinc atoms are ionized to cations and the copper cations from the solution are reduced to neutral atoms.

Copper is a metal that cannot replace zinc from zinc sulfate solution. This is because copper has a lower reactivity than zinc and cannot displace it in a chemical reaction.
What is would you expect to see when zinc is added to Copper Sulphate?
there would be a single replacement reaction where the copper forms on the top of the zinc and the blue color of the copper sulfate would get lighter and eventually you would end up with zinc sulfate and copper
