Answer:
No we cannot
Explanation:
Zinc is placed higher than copper in the reactive series. Hence it displaces copper easily from CuSO4 solution and becomes ZnSO4, with copper deposits on the zinc pot.

ANSWER :-
No because they might react with each other and copper sulphate might lose its property.
EXPLANATION :-
What is Chemical Reaction?
The Chemical reaction is a process in which new substances with new properties are formed.
Q.Why copper sulphate react with zinc?
Copper Sulphate (CuSo4) reacts with zinc (Zn) beacause Zinc is much more reactive than copper while copper is less reactive than zinc hence the zinc displaces copper from its salt solution and form its own solution i.e. ZnSO4.
This is a displacement reaction.Displacement reaction is a reaction in which more reactive substance displace less reactive substance from its solution.
The chemical equation for this reaction is given below :-
"aq" represnt aqeuos solution
"s" represent solid
In this reaction the blue colour of copper sulphate get changed into colourless and brown copper get deposite on the zinc.
Q. Why zinc is more reactive than copper?
This is because Zinc loses its outermost electrons rapidly than copper does. It reacts faster by losing electron and by forming Cation (positive charge).
Q. How we can know which atom is more reactive?
We can easily know which element is more reactive by the activity series of metal in which metals of highly reactive and low reactive are placed in decreasing order.
