The chemical reaction that occurs when a zinc strip is dipped into a copper sulphate solution is CuSO4 (aq) + Zn (s) ZnSO4 (aq) + Cu (s). The type of reaction that will occur is a displacement reaction.
The reactions in which an element (more reactive) displaces the other element (less reactive) from its salt solution are called displacement reactions. In this, zinc being a more reactive element, is placed higher in the reactivity series, so it displaces copper from its salt solution (copper sulphate).
CuSO4 (aq) + Zn (s) ZnSO4 (aq) + Cu (s)
