Answer:

2 different ways, color and acid

Step-by-step explanation:

Copper and zinc powder can be separated based on the colours; copper metal is red and zinc is grey in colour. The other method is to dissolve zinc powder in an acid,then filter copper from zinc chloride, while copper don't react with the acid because it is low in the reactivity series than hydrogen.
