The ionic equation for the reduction of copper sulfate (CuSO4) to copper oxide is:

Cu^2+ + 2e^- → Cu

This equation represents the reduction half-reaction where copper ions (Cu^2+) gain two electrons to form solid copper (Cu). The formation of copper oxide involves further reactions and would require a more comprehensive equation.
