That's a good question. What didhappen to it?I wouldn't expect much of anything to happen, since copper is a more active metal than silver. In fact, a copper plate dipped into a silver nitrate solution should grow silver crystals as the copper ionizes and replaces silver in solution.
equation = copper+suphuric acid=copper sulphate+hydrozen
equation = copper+suphuric acid=copper sulphate+hydrozen
no reaction will take place because copper does not react with dilute sulphuric acid, it will only react with hot and concentrated sulphuric acid.
No. The zinc will react with the ferrous sulphate, dissolving the zinc and forming solid iron. This is due to the positions of iron and zinc in the activity series.See the Related Questions for more information about the activity series.
The copper plates out while the zinc dissolves, leaving a transparent zinc sulphate solution.

There would be no reaction because copper is a less reactive metal than iron. Refer to the related link for an activity series of metals.

Zn(s) + CuSO4(aq) --> ZnSO4(aq) + Cu(s) The copper will plate out on the zinc. The net ionic reaction is: Zn(s) + Cu+2(aq) --> Zn+2(aq) + Cu(s)
To copper-plate another metal, the procedure is pretty simple. You need a DC power source, a bath of copper sulphate, and a copper electrode. Connect the positive terminal of the battery to the copper electrode, and the negative to the item to be plated. When the copper electrode and the item are placed in the copper sulphate solution, the circuit is complete and copper electrons will stick to the item.

If it is thin it can melt a hole through it, otherwise it will heat up
The Lead-Acid battery works by two plates, one a lead plate and the other a copper plate. The liquid between then is sulphuric acid. The sulphuric acid dissolves into its ions hydrogen ion (H^+) and the sulphate ion (SO4^2-) Lead is more reactive than copper, and will ionise preferentially, forming Pb^2+ and 2 electrons ; Pb = Pb^2+ + 2e^-, and in the process attract the sulphate anions to form lead sulphate. The hydrogen ions will move towards the copper plate. It is this movement of ions and electrons that is the 'electricity' stored in a lead acid battery. Each plate will have a terminal , to which you can connect a voltmeter across, and you will have a reading on the voltmeter ~ 1.5 V / Car batteries are of this type, and if allowed to discharge too often for too long, then you will see a white solid at one of the terminals; it is lead sulphate. Car batteries have six of these lead/copper cells, each producing 1.5 / 2.0 V , hence 2.V x 6 = 12v a cars electrical voltage. Sometimes the hydrogen ions form hydrogen gas and the battery may explode ; hydrogen , oxygen (air) and an electric spark. !!!!! Modern chemical and physical technology has largely eliminated these problems.
An etching is one way to create an image which can be reproduced by printing. There are different process for creating etchings, some use acids. Copper is a soft metal and easier to etch, the downside is it does not last as long as other metals. Basically, a copper-plate etching is the print made from the copper plate.
