The copper sulfate dissolves and turns into a royal-blue color.
copper sulphate is soluble.dissolve the two in water whereby cuso4 dissolves.filter the mixture the put the filtrate in an evaporating dish to evaporate excess water.do not evaporate to dryness coz some water ir required for crystalization.
A displacement reaction occurs when a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element in a compound. In this case, iron is more reactive than copper and displaces it in the copper-sulphate solution to form iron sulphate and copper metal.
crystilisation
actually, the real experiment is to have two test tubes, one with hot water and copper sulphate and other with vinegar and iron fillings. so you put two drops of the filings in the copper sulphate one and cover test tube with your thumb. then strike a match and keep it near the mouth of the tube, when pressure builds remove your thumb and it explodes. [ tiny explosion] But if u add water ,copper sulphate with iron fillings, then it turns all brownish and stuff, thats cuz the irons stronger then the sulphate or something... i hope it helped!!!
You have this backwards. Copper sulfate, CuSO4.5H2O is blue. When it is gently heated, it loses water and turns white.CuSO4.5H2O --> CuSO4 + 5 H2O.The white substance is anhydrous copper sulfate. If you put water on it it turns blue again.
That was why i came here
When the copper sulphate is mixed with sand, pour water on the mixture and let it stand for a few minutes. Have a filter funnel and filter paper handy. Put filter paper in funnel and pour the water, copper sulphate and sand mixture in. The copper sulphate will come out in liquid form, no weaker than first used.

If a copper sulphate solution is put into a container with a lid, the solution will still remain a liquid. However, it may evaporate more slowly due to the lid preventing some of the water from escaping. Over time, the concentration of copper sulphate in the solution may also increase slightly as water evaporates.
Probably a very dilute solution of copper sulphate act as a desinfecting agent; but the copper sulphate is toxic. It is more sure to avoid this experiment.

You can separate copper sulfate and sulfur by heating the mixture. Sulfur has a lower melting point than copper sulfate, so it will melt and can be separated by filtering while copper sulfate remains solid.
maybe u put in too much water...try putting about 3ml and it will grow a lot more

Nothing. Copper is not magnetic.
When magnesium ribbon is put into a blue copper sulphate solution, a single displacement reaction occurs. The magnesium displaces the copper ions, forming magnesium sulfate and elemental copper. The blue color of the solution fades because copper ions are removed and the pinkish metal produced is the elemental copper that settles at the bottom of the container.
