Since copper sulfate does not contain any iron it cannot be used as an iron suppliment. Copoer sulfate only contans copper, sulfer, and oxygen and has the formula of CuSO4
Because iron is more reactive than copper. If iron displaces copper, that releases energy (enthalpy). If copper were to displace iron, that would require energy to be used. This is less favourable and , averaged over the huge number of molecules, atoms and ions in the solution, the more energy producing reaction is vastly preferred. Hence, iron put into copper sulphate solution gets coated in copper and the solution slowly loses its blue colour. But if you put copper metal in iron sulphate solution, nothing noticable occurs.

No, at one point it was used as an emetic, but it was later discovered that copper sulphate is quite toxic to humans.
copper sulphate
Iron is more reactive than copper
Why does the colour of copper sulphate solution change when an iron nail is dipped in it? When an iron nail is placed in a copper sulphate solution, iron displaces copper from copper sulphate solution forming iron sulphate, which is green in colour. Therefore, the blue colour of copper sulphate solution fades and green colour appears.
Sulfuric acid is used to make copper sulphate.
the copper sulphate i used at room temperature was blue.

by crystallisation, we can get pure copper sulphate crystals
Copper sulphate obtained from the pharmacy can be used on cuts. Other sources of copper sulfate, such as root removing compounds cannot be used on the skin because they contain other substances. Copper sulphate can help to kill pathogens that cause infection.

anhydrous copper sulphate is white. when water is added it turns blue, in essence it can be used to detect the presence of water. hope this helps!!!!!!!!!!!
Iron is a magnet so it could be used for separating bits of metal from crushed up rock? True for iron, and separating bits of iron. But iron sulphate is not magnetic.
copper (II) oxide
for electroplating or wood presevative
