When a salt like copper sulfate in placed in water, the ionic bonds are broken and the ions (copper cation and sulfate anion) separate and become hydrated by the water molecules. This is the case of dissolution or dissolving. In the case of copper(II) sulfate, for example, CuSO4(s) + H2O(l) ==> Cu^2+(aq) + SO4^2-(aq)
What else can I help you with?
Is copper sulphate a metal?
Copper Sulphate is a chemical compound w/ a chemical formula CuSO4 .
What happens when an iron nail is immersed in copper sulphate solution?
The iron is more reactive than copper so when the iron nail is immersed in copper sulphate the iron takes sulphate ion from the copper sulphate and copper metal is deposited on top of the iron so that the nail will then look like a copper nail.The chemical reaction is called a replacement reaction, and is chemically represented as : CuSO4(compound in solution) + Fe(metal) ------>Cu(deposited metal) + FeSO4.
What else can copper react with besides oxygen and water?
Copper can also react with acids, such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, to form copper salts and hydrogen gas. Additionally, copper can react with certain gases, like sulfur dioxide, to form copper sulfide.
Can copper sulphate be prepared from copper metal and dilute sulphuric acid?
No, it cannot be prepared by this method under normal conditions. For preparing copper sulphate, copper should be added to the sulphate salt of a metal which is less reactive than copper like Mercury, silver and gold
What happens when excess hydroxide solution is added to copper II sulphate solution?
When excess hydroxide solution is added to copper II sulphate solution, a precipitate of copper II hydroxide forms. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is CuSO4 + 2NaOH -> Cu(OH)2 + Na2SO4. In this reaction, the blue color of the copper II sulfate solution turns into a light blue precipitate of copper II hydroxide.
Is copper sulphate a metal?
Copper Sulphate is a chemical compound w/ a chemical formula CuSO4 .
What does ammonium copper sulphate look like?
blue coloured
Iron plus copper sulphate equals iron sulphate plus copper - what change would you see on the surface of the nail?
The copper will appear on the surface of the nail, so it will be different in colour-it'll be like copper.
What is the symbol equation for copper carbonate plus sulphuric acid to copper sulphate plus water plus carbon dioxide?
Copper carbonate + sulphuric acid = copper sulphate + water + carbon dioxide
What does copper not react with?
copper reacts to a lot of things but does not react to some common pieces like metal
Why is copper Sulphate also written as copper II Sulphate?
Copper(II) sulphate is written like this because here II denotes the oxidation state of copper or in simple language, it denotes its valency.Copper sometimes shows +1 valency and sometimes +2.So to specify, its valency in a compound, the valency is written in brackets.
What colour is the flame of copper sulphate when heated?
it is like the color but gold more
Do heavy metals like copper sulphate influence seed growth?
Yes.
If a compound has ate in its name like copper sulphate what element will it present?
Oxygen

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
