can someone explain to me what happens when zinc and copper sulfate react?

Question

I know its a redox reaction and it gives off heat making it exothermic, but don't know whats actually happening in that reaction.

can someone explain to me that reaction?

Answer 1

If the copper sulfate is in solution, this is it.
Zn(s) + CuSO4(aq) ==> ZnSO4(aq) + Cu(s)

The Zn displaces the Cu^2+ ion.
