This is a single replacement reaction. The zinc replaces the copper in the sulfate compound.

In general, if a reaction occurs between a metal and metal-nonmetal (ionic) compound, the two metals will "switch."

In this reaction, zinc (Zn) reacts with sulfuric acid (H2SO4) to form zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) and hydrogen gas (H2). This is a single displacement reaction where zinc replaces hydrogen in sulfuric acid to form zinc sulfate and release hydrogen gas.

Zn+H2SO4 -----> ZnSO4+H2 is a single displacement reaction. This means that the Zn is more reactive than the H2.

Oxidation of Zn, Reduction of H+ions, so it is a (acid) 'redox' reaction
