The difference is that anhydrous copper(II) sulfate has no water of crystallisation. The anhydrous variant is a white solid while the hydrated variant is blue. Also, the chemical formula for hydrated copper(II) sulfate (or copper sulfate pentahydrate) is CuSO4.5H2O while that of the anhydrous one is CuSO4.
The gram formula unit mass of copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate is 249.68. The gram formula unit mass of water is 18.015. Therefore, the mass of water of crystallization present in 50.0 g of copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate is: 50[5(18.015)/249.68] or 18.0 g, to the justified number of significant digits. (Note that the prefix penta- means five)
Blue is the solution's color When blue CuSO4.5H2O (copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate) is dissolved, the solution turns blue. When white CuSO4 (anhydrous copper(II) sulfate) is dissolved, the solution turns also blue.
Compounds with .H2O are termed as hydrated compounds..5H2O is pentahydrate.So the name is Copper sulphate pentahydrate
The water gradually dissociates the copper sulfate, and copper ions in solution are blue.
If you were to add water to anhydrous cupric sulfate it would be pentahydrate a bright blue.
The blue copper sulfate pentahydrate loss by heating water and become an anhydrous white sulfate.
Copper sulfate is normally found in the form of blue crystals, copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate. When you heat copper sulfate pentahydrate it turns white as the water which is driven off by the heat. The white solid remaining is anhydrous copper sulfate. If you add water to the anhydrous copper sulfate an exothermic reaction occurs, you can feel the test-tube getting hot, as the blue copper sulfate pentahydrate is re-formed.
You'll get first: blue Cu-sulfate pentahydrate crystall's and after further heating: white anhydrous Cu-sulfate powder.
Anhydrous Copper Sulfate will be white. The original crystals (CuSO4 pentahydrate) will be blue.
The anhydrous copper(II) sulfate is white, the pentahydrate is blue.Iron is gray.

It would form a white substance called anhydrous copper(II) Sulfate. *Anhydrous - Salts that do not contain water. Copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate is also called "blue vitriol," because it's, well, blue (vitriol is an old term for sulfuric acid). However, anhydrous copper (II) sulfate is white.

Copper(II) sulfate has the formula CuSO4.
