Thye chemical reaction is:
Zn + CuSO4 = Cu + ZnSO4
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.
zinc is more reactive than copper hence it displaces the copper in copper sulphate solution to become zinc sulphate and copper metal is formed

No, it is not. Since zinc is highly reactive, therefore it will react with copper sulphate to form zinc sulphate and deposit copper.
copper (II) sulfate is CuSO4 ; Zinc sulfate is ZnSO4 Zn + CuSO4 --> ZnSO4 + Cu
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.
Zinc becomes plated with copper.
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.
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
Because zinc displaces Copper to produce zinc sulfate and Copper
Magnesium is more reactive than copper in the reactivity series (reactive metal atoms displaces less reactive metal ions from its salts).therefore : Mg displaces CU from its salt forming MgSO4 (Magnesium Sulphate)
zinc is more reactive than copper hence it displaces the copper in copper sulphate solution to become zinc sulphate and copper metal is formed
SO4 (sulfate) is soluble only when combined with Ba2+, Pb2+, Ca2+, and Sr2+. Since ZnSO4 is not soluble, nothing happens.

It may be either a reactant or a product depending on what the reaction is. If you react elemental zinc with sulfuric acid to form zinc sulfate and hydrogen, then it is a product. If you react aqueous zinc sulfate with sodium hydroxide to form solid zinc hydroxide and sodium sulfate, then it is a reactant.
