You need to start with a copper compound and react it with an acid to get the salt you want. If you use hydrochloric acid you will get a chloride; if you use nitric acid you will get a nitrate. You asked for copper sulphate so can you decide for yourself which acid you need? You will need to put this in a conical flask and heat it - if you're heating acids you must wear protective goggles - and add some copper oxide. This is black. It will react and form a blue solution. You need to be sure you have used up all your acid so you must use enough copper oxide to have some left over. Stop heating and filter it to get rid of the rest of the copper oxide. You want to get rid of the water now - if you want to be quick you can evaporate it by placing it in an evaporating basin on top of a beaker of boiling water. If you have time you can just leave it to evaporate slowly at room temperature. If you do it this way you will get nicer, bigger crystals. Why do you think this is? Look carefully at your crystals to see what shape they are.
when copper sulphate solution when we put an iron nail the copper sulphate will
become pale green . keep it for 1or more days it will become crystals.
Copper Sulphate usually is found in a hydrated form (i.e., water molecules are incorporated into the crystals.) Pure copper sulphate is a pale, greenish gray color. The familiar blue color only occurs in hydrates of copper sulphate (i.e., in crystals that incorporate H20 molecules). Heating the blue crystals can drive off the water. It's still called copper sulphate after you do that. For substances like copper sulphate that naturally attract water, the adjective, anhydrous often is used to describe the pure (water free) state. If you heat copper sulphate to a temperature of 650C, it will decompose into something else. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_sulphate
yes they do
It can take a couple of days.
Copper Sulphate crystals before heating r blue....but after heating I dunno , may be u should try and ask your Sci.Miss/Sir I'll get back when I get the other answer .
boil off the solvent (usually water) until you are left with copper sulfate crystals. For getting back the copper sulphate crystals from copper sulphate solution, we have to first make super saturated solution by boiling, then allow to cool down & dried these crystals with filter paper.
melt the copper sulfate and see what appers
To prepare copper sulfate crystals, you would need a heat source, glassware such as beakers and stirring rods, distilled water, copper oxide or copper sulfate powder, a balance for measuring mass, and a filtration setup for separating the crystals from the solution. Optional equipment includes a thermometer for temperature monitoring and a hot plate for heating.
When blue crystals of copper sulfate (CuSO4) are heated, they lose their water of hydration molecules, which causes the crystals to turn colorless. The blue color of copper sulfate is due to the presence of water molecules within its structure, so once these water molecules are removed, the crystal appears colorless.

One method to obtain pure copper sulfate from an impure sample is by recrystallization. In this process, the impure sample is dissolved in water, and then the solution is heated and slowly cooled to allow pure copper sulfate crystals to form. These crystals are then filtered out and dried to obtain the pure compound.
yes they do
Yes, copper sulfate crystals can conduct electricity when dissolved in water because the ions present in the solution are free to carry the electric current. However, solid copper sulfate crystals do not conduct electricity as well because the ions are not free to move.
Yes, copper sulfate crystals can dissolve in water. When added to water, the crystals break down into copper ions and sulfate ions, forming a solution of copper sulfate.
Yes, copper sulfate crystals are soluble in water. In fact, they are highly soluble and dissolve easily in water to form a blue solution.
When copper sulfate is dissolved in water, it dissociates into copper ions (Cu2+) and sulfate ions (SO4 2-). This forms a blue-colored solution due to the presence of copper ions in the water. The solution can conduct electricity due to the presence of free ions.
Adding copper sulphate crystals to water will raise the boiling point of the solution, as the dissolved particles disrupt the water molecules, making it harder for them to escape as vapor. This results in an increase in boiling point compared to pure water.
very dark blue
