very dark blue
Copper sulphate crystals form when a hot saturated solution of copper sulphate is cooled down. As the solution cools, the solubility of copper sulphate decreases, causing the excess copper sulphate to come out of the solution and form crystals.
Yes, Copper Sulphate crystals can dissolve in water to form a blue solution.
Copper Sulphate crystals before heating r blue....but after heating I dunno , may be u should try and ask your Sci.Miss/Sir I'll get back when I get the other answer .
Water changes blue anhydrous copper sulphate crystals to white by creating hydrated copper sulphate, which is white in color.
Hydrous copper sulphate, when heated, turns into anhydrous copper sulphate and changes its color from blue to white. The blue color comes from the water molecules bound to the copper sulphate crystals, and when heated, these water molecules are removed, resulting in a color change.
No, copper sulphate crystals do not have cleavage planes because they are not considered minerals with cleavage. Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along specific planes due to its crystal structure, which copper sulphate does not exhibit. Instead, copper sulphate crystals tend to break irregularly along their structure.
Copper sulphate's colour is blue.
because when in a solution it forms blue crystals creating a blue colour
The formula of the blue crystals of copper sulphate is CuSO4.5H2O. When they are heated mildly, the water from the crystals evaporate, giving just CuSO4. This 'anhydrous' form of copper (II) sulphate is white in colour.
A rather incomplete question. I could use copper sulphate for a number of reasons, for example as an electrolyte for copper plating, as a medium for growing impressive deep blue crystals, as a fungicide and so on. For fun, try dropping some iron filings into a fairly concentrated solution of copper sulphate and observe how the iron filings change to a copper colour and the solution changes to a green colour.
The colour of Copper sulphate is blue because Copper ions absorb light in all frequencies except blue which is reflected instead.
