What is anhydrous copper sulphate?
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.
What happens when you heat copper sulfate crystals?
they get warmer Blue Copper sulphate crystals contain a lot of water. If you heat them the water is driven off and they turn white.
What type of change happens when you heat copper sulfate?
Blue Copper sulphate crystals contain a lot of water. If you heat them the water is driven off and they turn white.
What happen if add heat to anhydrous copper sulfate?
Copper sulfate can be thermally dissociated at apptox. 500 oC.
What happens if you heat copper?
If you heat copper it will oxidise and therefore lose electrons.
What happens when you heat anhydrous copper sulphate?
Copper sulfate is normally found in the form of blue crystals, copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate. When you heat copper sulfate pentahydrate it turns white as the water which is driven off by the heat. The white solid remaining is anhydrous copper sulfate. If you add water to the anhydrous copper sulfate an exothermic reaction occurs, you can feel the test-tube getting hot, as the blue copper sulfate pentahydrate is re-formed.
How do you ensure all water is removed from hydrated copper sulfate?
Heat it in a crucible to a high temperature (well above the boiling point of water). Hydrated copper sulfate is blue in color; when it turns white you will know that the water has been driven out.
Does a change in color observed when copper II sulfate crystals become dehydrated how do you account for the change when water is added to the heated copper II sulfate?
Yes, copper (II) sulfate, also known as cupric sulfate, is a deep blue when it is hydrated (when it has water). If you heat it, the water evaporates and leaves plain copper (II) sulfate power, which is a cream color. So yes, dehydrating copper (II) sulfate in its hydrated form will cause it to change from blue to white. If you take this dehydrated (anhydrous) copper (II) sulfate and add water to it, it will become hydrated again, so the white powder will, once again, turn that deep blue color.

What is the chemical formula for Anhydrous?
The term anhydrous means without water. Some compounds, such as copper sulfate (CuSO4) have the capacity to absorb water, which becomes loosely attached to the ionic compound, at which point it is said to be hydrated; if you heat it you can drive off the water, at which point it becomes anhydrous. Hydrated copper sulfate is blue in color; the anhydrous form is white.
How do you separated the copper sulfate from water?
Heat it
What happen if add heat to anhydrous copper sulfate?
Copper sulfate can be thermally dissociated at apptox. 500 oC.
What would happen if copper sulfate evaporated?
Copper sulfate would crystalize as blue crystals, water would evaporate. To get the copper sulfate itself to evaporate you would need to heat it, melting the dry crystals then vaporizing them.
What kind of chemical reaction do you get when you heat copper sulfate pentahydrate?
The reaction is dehydration.
What happens if you heat copper?
If you heat copper it will oxidise and therefore lose electrons.
