Why does copper sulfate change its colour when water is added
blue
When water is added to anhydrous copper sulfate, it forms copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate, a blue crystalline solid. So, the color change observed is from white (anhydrous) to blue (pentahydrate) when water is added.
Hydrated copper sulphate (CuSO4.5H2O) is blue in colour. Anhydrous copper sulphate (CuSO4) is white in colour.
To change blue copper sulfate to white copper sulfate, you can heat the blue copper sulfate to drive off the water molecules and get anhydrous white copper sulfate. This process is known as dehydration. Be cautious when heating copper sulfate as it can release toxic fumes.
blue
The formula unit for copper II sulfate is CuSO4.
When copper sulfate is added to sodium hydroxide, a blue precipitate of copper hydroxide is formed. The color change observed is from the initial blue color of copper sulfate to the blue precipitate of copper hydroxide.
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.
The color of paint after heating copper sulfate will change from blue to white as the heat drives off the water molecules in the compound.
the copper sulphate i used at room temperature was blue.
When a silver rod is placed in a blue copper sulphate solution, there is no visible color change because silver is less reactive than copper. This means that silver does not displace copper from copper sulfate solution during the reaction, so the blue color of the copper sulfate solution remains unchanged.
