When zinc is added to a solution of iron (II) sulphate, you would observe a displacement reaction. The zinc metal will displace the iron from the iron (II) sulphate solution, resulting in the formation of zinc sulphate and iron metal. The chemical reaction can be represented as follows:
Zn + FeSO4 -> ZnSO4 + Fe
In this reaction, the zinc metal replaces the iron in the compound, leading to the formation of zinc sulphate and the liberation of iron metal.
