The hydrated copper sulfate (blue color) become white after heating and releasing of water; the white anhydrous copper sulfate is obtained.
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.
Copper sulfate (CuSO4) is a compound as it contains the elements copper, sulfur and oxygen chemically combined. Copper, sulfur and oxygen are elements because they cannot be broken down into any simpler forms of substance. Anhydrous copper sulfate appears as a white solid while hydrated copper sulfate appears as a blue solid.
copper sulfate's chemical symbol is actually CuSO4 ... the symbol CuSO4-5H2O is copper sulfate pentahydrate... someone should edit the answer on CuSO4 copper sulfate
CuSO4.5H2O
Copper sulfate is not black. Combined with water, as hydrated copper sulfate, it is blue. Without water, as anhydrous copper sulfate, it is white.
The hydrated copper sulfate (blue color) become white after heating and releasing of water; the white anhydrous copper sulfate is obtained.

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 term anhydrous means without water. Some compounds, such as copper sulfate (CuSO4) have the capacity to absorb water, which becomes loosely attached to the ionic compound, at which point it is said to be hydrated; if you heat it you can drive off the water, at which point it becomes anhydrous. Hydrated copper sulfate is blue in color; the anhydrous form is white.
Dissolve the necessary quantity of copper sulfate for your desired concentration in water under stirring. For weighing be aware that copper sulfate may be anhydrous or hydrated.
It becomes a non-crystalline, powdery anhydrous salt.The hydrated (pentahydrate) form is chalcanthite, a bright blue crystal. The rare anhydrous ore form is called chalcocyanite, a gray or pale-green powdery rock.(If heated to 650 °C, copper sulfate becomes copper oxide and sulfur trioxide.)
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.

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

Copper Sulphate is a powder at room temperature, therefore it is a solid.
