Best Answer

Copper can be obtained from copper sulfate solution by electroplating it onto an electrode or by adding a metal higher in the electromotive series than copper, such as iron, to the solution. The more active metal will dissolve by displacing copper in metallic form from the copper sulfate.

Why Hydrated copper sulfate crystals cannot be obtained from a solution by direct heating?

Heating the saturated solution of Copper sulfate will not form the hydrated copper sulfate crystals because only after cooling down the saturated solution of copper sulfate then only the crystals of the hydrated copper sulfate can be formed

575 milliliters of a copper sulfate solution contains 2 percent copper sulfate how many milliliters of the solution are copper sulfate?

You will have to assume that the 2 % is a volume fraction, then the volume of copper sulfate in the solution would be 11.5 milliliter(575 ml*(0.02). If it were a weight fraction, then you would have to have more information on the solution density.

Where is the excess copper from after adding zinc to copper sulfate?

The "excess" metallic copper produced by adding zinc metal to a copper sulfate solution comes from exchanging zinc atoms from the metal for copper atoms from the copper sulfate solution. During the reaction, the zinc atoms are ionized to cations and the copper cations from the solution are reduced to neutral atoms.
