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.

What is the compound name for copper salt?
Copper Sulphate CuSO4Since the question did not include Oxygen, the answer is Copper Sulphide (CuxSx)If you have only Copper and Sulphur reacting the product is Copper Sulphide (CuS), not Copper Sulphate (CuSO4).Copper Sulphide is made when Copper and Sulphur are heated together - the product is a black solid.Copper Sulphate is produced when Copper is reacted either with sulphuric acid, or with a less reactive metal sulphate. Copper Sulphate is usually in the form of a blue solution but can be evaporated to produce a blue crystalline structure.
