Cupric Sulfate is also known as Copper(II) sulfate and is considered a salt. The II and the -ic suffix for the copper represent 2 electrons lost (creating a doubly charged Copper positive ion [cation]) to the Sulfate molecule, which acquires a negative 2 charge and is an anion.
Salts are written with the electron donor first and the electron receiver second.
In anhydrous form there is no water (There is no hydrogen so no pH) --and no bright blue crystal Cu2+SO42-In the crystalized form, 5 molecules of water (pentahydrate) becomes part of the structure for each atom of Copper (Cu). The chemical formula is CuSO4•5H2O. Dissolved in solution (water) cupric sulfate is a strong electrolyte and conductor of electricity. Expect an acidic pH of 3.7 to 4.5

What is the synonym of copper sulfate?
copper sulfate, cupric sulfate, cupric sulphate.l
Cupric sulfate formula?
Cupric or copper II sulfate is CuSO4
How many moles are in 44.78 g of cupric sulfate?
CuSO4 (cupric sulfate) has a molecular weight of 159.602g/mol Cu=63.546 S =32.06 O = 15.999 x 4 =63.996 Add the atomic weights of the elements in cupric sulfate. This is 159.602 grams/mol. Now divide the number of grams( 44.78) by the molecular weight of cupric sulfate (159.602). 44.78 g CuSO4/159.602 g/mol CuSO4= .2805 mol(moles) of cupric sulfate. The answer is 0.2805
What elements are in cupric sulfate?
Copper(1 atom), Sulfur(1 atom) and Oxygen(4 atoms)
What will cupric sulfate dissolve?

- What would happen to the anhydrous cupric sulfate if you added water to it?
If you were to add water to anhydrous cupric sulfate it would be pentahydrate a bright blue.
Which faster dissolves first the solid cupric sulfate or powdered cupric sulfate?
powders have larger surface areas so will dissolve faster
