Why nothing happens when a piece of copper metal is placed in zinc sulphate solution?

Copper COULD replace the zinc ion to form a copper ion and zinc metal IF it were more reactive (ignoble, base metal) than zinc. However the opposite is true!
Cu + Zn2+ -xx-> Cu2+ + Zn
is not possible,
The reversed will do:
Cu2+ + Zn ---> Cu + Zn2+

What happens when sodium hydroxide is added to copper sulphate solution?
Nothing
What happens when a silver spoon is kept immersed in aqueous copper sulphate solution?
nothing will happen as copper is more reactive than silver.
What happens when copper sulphate is added to water?
Formation of a copper sulfate solution in water. This solution has a herbicide and fungicide effect.
What happens when an iron nail is dipped in copper sulphate solution?
A brown layer of copper gets deposited on iron nail. This change is due to a chemical reaction between copper sulphate and iron. Also the colour of the solution changes from blue to green due to the formation of iron sulphate. This reaction can be represented by the following equation: Copper sulphate + Iron = Iron sulphate + Copper solution (CuSO4) + (Fe) = (FeSO) + (Cu)
How is copper released from a copper sulphate solution?
silicate, carbonate or sulphate

Nothing
What happens when a silver spoon is kept immersed in aqueous copper sulphate solution?
nothing will happen as copper is more reactive than silver.
What happens when iron nail are placed in copper sulphate solution?
the solution turns green and the nails develop a brown deposit which is copper. the iron displaces the copper in the copper sulphate solution. This is because iron is more reactive than copper.
What happens when copper sulphate is added to water?
Formation of a copper sulfate solution in water. This solution has a herbicide and fungicide effect.
What happens when copper sulphate is dissolved in water?
Copper Sulphate mixed with hot water makes Copper Sulphate Crystals.
Aqueous solution of copper sulphate is a homogeneous mixture?
an aqueous solution of copper sulphate is homogeneous

Can copper sulphate be separated from its solution by crystallization?
Yes, copper sulphate(CuSO4) can be separated from its solution in crystalline form.
What happens to gold when dipped into a solution of copper sulfate?
It isn't displaced as gold is less reactive than copper sulphate!
What happens when copper wire is dipped in ferrous sulphate solution?
no reaction would take place
