How do you obtain big crystals of blue vitriol from its solutions?
Crystals in general are formed when solutions try to maintain concentrations at or below saturation. For example, a saturated sugar solution forms crystals when water from the solution evaporates and leaves excess sugar behind. Since supersaturation is a highly unstable and thus undesirable state of being for a solution, the dissolved sugar left behind will clump together at sites of nucleation to let the remaining solution remain below supersaturation. Crystals will continue to grow as long as the concentration of solutes in the solution can increase above saturation. To grow large blue vitriol crystals, one can simply prepare a saturated solution in a large container and let it sit undisturbed for as long as possible while evaporating steadily, removing the crystals when they are a satisfactory size or before the solution dries up entirely.
Three elements contained in blue vitriol?
Blue vitriol is the old fashioned name for Copper Sulfate - so there is copper, sulfur and oxygen present
Are all the compounds of copper plus 2 blue?
Not necessarily. They might be blue, green, or essentially white depending on how many waters of hydration are associated with the copper (II) ion. It's very easy to see this if you just take some copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate (blue vitriol) in a test tube and heat it; as the waters of hydration are driven off, the crystals turn white (some people call it a very light green; it looks white to me). When the crystals are allowed to cool they will absorb water from the air and eventually turn blue again. Aqueous solutions of copper (II) compounds are blue, as far as I know; at least I can't think of any counterexamples.

Where can you get blue vitriol for experiments?
You can get blue vitriol perhaps from medical store
Is blue vitriol an element compound or a mixture?
Blue vitriol is a compound. It has molecular formula CuSO4.7H2O.
Which compound is known as blue vitriol?
Copper(II) Sulphate(VI) is known as blue vitriol.
What is the formula of blue vitriol?
CuSO4.5H2O
How do you separate Copper Sulphate and Blue Vitriol?
You can not. Blue Vitriol is the old fashioned name for Copper Sulfate and they are thus the same chemical.
What are the uses of blue vitriol?
blue vitriol or copper sulfate pentahydrate is used as a fungicide, pesticide and herbicide. its medical use is an emetic but it is toxic.
What colour change of the substance after a heat strongly a few crystals of blue vitriol copper 2 sulphate in a dry test tube?
The blue copper(II) sulfate is a pentahydrate: CuSO4.5H2O. The anhydrous form - CuSO4 - is white.
Is blue vitriol a base or a salt?
Salt
Three elements contained in blue vitriol?
Blue vitriol is the old fashioned name for Copper Sulfate - so there is copper, sulfur and oxygen present
What are the properties of blue vitriol altered during water of crsytallization?
Blue vitriol is a very obsolete name for the copper(II)sulphate: CuSO4. Don't use in the future this term. Pentahydratated copper(II) sulphate: CuSO4.5H2O - bright blue color After the dehydratation of the above compound we obtain the anhydrous copper(II) sulphate: CuSO4 - pale green color.
Will blue vitriol dissolve in oil?
There are many different oils, but they are largely non-polar so it's unlikely that an ionic compound such as copper sulfate (blue vitriol) will dissolve in any of them to any appreciable extent.
