With sufficient heating, the blue colored hydrated copper sulfate crystals common at standard temperature and pressure will lose their water of hydration and lose their blue color. With further heating, the anhydrous crystals will melt.

Why blue crystals of copper sulphate on heating turn colourless?

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.


What is The name of the copper sulphate after being heated?

Copper Sulphate usually is found in a hydrated form (i.e., water molecules are incorporated into the crystals.) Pure copper sulphate is a pale, greenish gray color. The familiar blue color only occurs in hydrates of copper sulphate (i.e., in crystals that incorporate H20 molecules). Heating the blue crystals can drive off the water. It's still called copper sulphate after you do that. For substances like copper sulphate that naturally attract water, the adjective, anhydrous often is used to describe the pure (water free) state. If you heat copper sulphate to a temperature of 650C, it will decompose into something else. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_sulphate

What change will happen when copper sulphate is heated?

It turns into blueish clear crystals but only if u don't have a lid on it when it is heated!add. as it is heated, the water of crystallization will be driven off, and soon you'll have a greenish powder.
