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
Zinc displace copper from sulfate; the solution become colourless and copper is precipitated.
Anhydrous or hydrated copper sulphate crystals? And from what?
The ribbon starts to break up at the surface, a brown solid forms(copper metal), and the solution eventually becomes colourless (from losing copper ions)
What effect would dissolving some copper sulphate crystals in the water have on its boiling point?
Copper is a transition metal- these often give rise to colored salts. Sodium is an s block metal these are generally colorless. The reason is that transition metals ions have electrons in an outer d orbitals that can be excited to higher energy levels by visible light.
Adding zinc to copper sulfate will result in a displacement reaction that will create copper metal to precipitate as a solid. CuSO4(aq) + Zn(s) ---> ZnSO4 + Cu(s) This reaction is quite exothermic too, meaning it will give off alot of heat - enough to make it too hot to hold the reaction beaker in bare hands.
A copper sulphate solution can have different concentrations depending on how much copper sulphate crystals have been added into the water. A typical 1 molar solution of copper sulphate would need 250g of CuSO4, mixed with 700ml of H2O, with 10ml of H2SO4 added with another 290ml of water.
magnesium+copper sulphate =no reaction
Copper sulfate is soluble in water and dissociated in ions (Cu2)+ and (SO4)2-.

nothing will happen as i have done this experiment. I think it is because iron is more reactive than copper, so the copper can't take away the sulphate. but if you added the iron to a copper sulphate solution the product would be iron sulphate this reaction is called displacment.

melt the copper sulfate and see what appers

I DONT KNOW
The copper will appear on the surface of the nail, so it will be different in colour-it'll be like copper.
