Answer:

Single replacement .

Explanation:

  • Single replacement is a reaction in which one element reacts with another compound to form another compound and another element.
  • The reaction between Zn and CuSO₄ represented as:

Zn + CuSO₄ → Cu + ZnSO₄.

Zn replaces Cu from its salt resulting Cu and ZnSO₄.

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A single replacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which a single element displaces another element from a compound.

For example, [tex]Zn + CuSO_{4} \rightarrow ZnSO_{4} + Cu[/tex]

Only a more reactive element can replaces another element from a compound.

So, according to reactivity series zinc element is more reactive than copper. Hence, zinc is able to displace copper in a copper sulfate solution.

Thus, we can conclude that the type of reaction you expect for the reactants Zn and [tex]CuSO_4[/tex] is single replacement.
