No, it is not a chemical reaction. The added heat only drives the water molecules out of the crystal structure. No bonds are made or broken.
Actually, it is a chemical change, because there are bonds between the water and CuSO4. by heating, these bonds are broken, there is a color change not coming from the reactant.

Describe the appearance and odor of the liquid obtained by heating copper 11 sulfate pentahydrate?
Describe the appearance and odor of the liquid obtained by heating copper II sulfate pentahydrate.
Why colour of CuSO4 crystals changes on heating?
The blue copper sulfate pentahydrate loss by heating water and become an anhydrous white sulfate.
Heating copper II sulfate pentahydrate?
CuSO4.5H2O is a blue solid on heating it loses water molecules and becomes colourless.
What do you get when you evaporate a copper sulphate solution?

How many molecules does copper-II sulfate pentahydrate have?
The chemical formula is CuSO4.5 H2O; the pentahydrate contain 5 molecules of water (penta = five, in the Greek lanuage).
What is the correct name for hydrate CuSO4.5H2O?
Compounds with .H2O are termed as hydrated compounds..5H2O is pentahydrate.So the name is Copper sulphate pentahydrate
What is the chemical reaction of magnesim sulfate?
The chemical formula of magnesium sulfate is MgSO4.7H2O.
Why is heating cupric sulfate a chemical change?
It is not.
Does heating copper II sulfate produce a chemical change or physical change?
Heating Copper Sulfate gently drives off the water of crystallization leaving an amorphous white powder. This is purely a physical reaction. Heating this powder strongly will cause a chemical reaction liberating sulfur dioxide and oxygen, leaving black copper(II)oxide: 2CuSO4 >2CuO + 2SO2 + O2
