CuSO4(aq) + Zn(s) ---> ZnSO4(aq) + Cu(s)

Our final product: copper.

Zinc is reacting with a cupric sulfate solution, producing a zinc sulfate solution and the solid: copper.



Taide is striving for accuracy by making sure all excess zinc is reacting with the solution by constantly stirring it.


SINGLE REPLACEMENT
The driving force behind this reaction was the formation of a solid. When CuSO4 reacted with Zn, it became ZnSO4 and formed the solid copper.
