blue
Anhydrous copper sulfate is white powder, heating makes no difference.
The hydrated copper sulfate (blue color) become white after heating and releasing of water; the white anhydrous copper sulfate is obtained.
The difference is that anhydrous copper(II) sulfate has no water of crystallisation. The anhydrous variant is a white solid while the hydrated variant is blue. Also, the chemical formula for hydrated copper(II) sulfate (or copper sulfate pentahydrate) is CuSO4.5H2O while that of the anhydrous one is CuSO4.
The formula unit for copper II sulfate is CuSO4.
Why does copper sulfate change its colour when water is added
Anhydrous copper sulfate is white powder, heating makes no difference.
The hydrated copper sulfate (blue color) become white after heating and releasing of water; the white anhydrous copper sulfate is obtained.
Anhydrous copper sulfate solid is white. When it is added to water, it dissolves and the solution of aqueous copper sulfate becomes blue.
The difference is that anhydrous copper(II) sulfate has no water of crystallisation. The anhydrous variant is a white solid while the hydrated variant is blue. Also, the chemical formula for hydrated copper(II) sulfate (or copper sulfate pentahydrate) is CuSO4.5H2O while that of the anhydrous one is CuSO4.
The formula unit for copper II sulfate is CuSO4.
The anhydrous copper(II) sulfate is white, the pentahydrate is blue.Iron is gray.
The blue copper sulfate pentahydrate loss by heating water and become an anhydrous white sulfate.
Why does copper sulfate change its colour when water is added
Copper sulfate is not black. Combined with water, as hydrated copper sulfate, it is blue. Without water, as anhydrous copper sulfate, it is white.
CuSO4.5H2O
The blue copper(II) sulfate is a pentahydrate: CuSO4.5H2O. The anhydrous form - CuSO4 - is white.
In the presence of water the white anhydrous copper sulfate become blue.
