Most people think that Cupric sulfate or Copper(II) sulfate, is blue in colour. But actually it is not. Blue colour in Copper(II) sulfate is due to the presence of Water molecules in it. This form is called Copper(II) sulfate Pentahydrate[CuSO4.5H2O], which most people see. If it does not have any water molecules in it, the thing is in pure state and is White in colour. This form is Anhydrous Copper(II) sulfate[CuSO4]. This form is rarely seen, because it can absorb water itself from the nature and become blue in colour. So from this we know that very pure Copper(II) sulfate is not blue, But its Pentahydrate form is blue.

- What would happen to the anhydrous cupric sulfate if you added water to it?
If you were to add water to anhydrous cupric sulfate it would be pentahydrate a bright blue.
Cupric sulfate formula?
The chemical formula for cupric sulfate is CuSO4.
What is the cupric sulfate flame color?
Greenish
What is left when cupric sulfate and Fe metal react?
= Copper and Ferrous sulfate
How many moles are in 44.78 g of cupric sulfate?
CuSO4 (cupric sulfate) has a molecular weight of 159.602g/mol Cu=63.546 S =32.06 O = 15.999 x 4 =63.996 Add the atomic weights of the elements in cupric sulfate. This is 159.602 grams/mol. Now divide the number of grams( 44.78) by the molecular weight of cupric sulfate (159.602). 44.78 g CuSO4/159.602 g/mol CuSO4= .2805 mol(moles) of cupric sulfate. The answer is 0.2805
What is the colour of soluble cupric salts?
Cupric sulfate and chloride are blue; also cupric carbonate is blue but not soluble in water.
- What would happen to the anhydrous cupric sulfate if you added water to it?
If you were to add water to anhydrous cupric sulfate it would be pentahydrate a bright blue.
What is the synonym of copper sulfate?
copper sulfate, cupric sulfate, cupric sulphate.l
What color of cupric sulfate mix into the water?
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.
How to tranform cupric sulfate to cupric hydroxide?
To transform cupric sulfate to cupric hydroxide, you can mix cupric sulfate (CuSO4) with a base like sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in a reaction vessel. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: CuSO4 + 2NaOH → Cu(OH)2 + Na2SO4. This will result in the formation of cupric hydroxide (Cu(OH)2) and sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) as a byproduct.
Cupric sulfate formula?
The chemical formula for cupric sulfate is CuSO4.
What is CuSO4.5H2O known as?
This is copper(II) pentahydrate or cupric sulfate or blue vitriol.
What color does cupric sulfate burn?
Cupric sulfate burns with a green flame.
When black copper oxide is added to dilute sulphuric acid what colour is the soloution at the end?
Blue cupric sulfate solutionAdded:Chemical formulas:- CuO, Cu(II)-oxide, cupric oxide (monocopper oxide), black- Cu2O, Cu(I)-oxide, cuprous oxide (dicopper oxide), red- sulfuric acid, H2SO4CuO + H2SO4 --> CuSO4 + H2O , cupric sulfate, blue solutionCu2O (red) also reacts with dilute sulfuric acid forming CuSO4 by:Cu2O + 2 H2SO4 --> CuSO4 + H2O + H2, cupric sulfate, blue solution
What will happen if you heat cupric sulfate?
It will change its color. From blue it will become white. It will change its color. From blue it will become white.
What happens when cupric sulfate and cupric chloride are mixed with water?
CuSO4 + H20
What will cupric sulfate dissolve?
