· Copper sulphate is a fungicide used to control bacterial and fungal diseases of fruit, vegetable, nut and field crops. Some of the diseases that are controlled by this fungicide include mildew, leaf spots, blights and apple scab. It is used in combination with lime and water as a protective fungicide, referred to as Bordeaux mixture, for leaf application and seed treatment. It is also used as an algaecide, an herbicide in irrigation and municipal water treatment systems, and as a molluscicide, a material used to repel and kill slugs and snails. . It is generally used as insecticide in agriculture & in the wood industry. The uses of copper sulphate are: As a Herbicide, Fungicide and Pesticide.To control the amount of algae in ponds etc. To test for proteins (used in the Biuret reagent). To test blood for anaemia. Blood is put in copper sulphate solution, but containing sufficient Haemoglobin sinks. To sometimes make deep blue-green fireworks. As a hair dye (with other chemicals). Processing of leather and textiles. To make Copper Sulphate Crystals.

∙ 14y agoCopper sulphate tends to absorb water, becoming what is known as hydrated copper sulphate, which is a lovely blue color, but if you heat it and drive off the water it turns into pure, or anhydrous copper sulphate, which is white. It is an ionic compound, soluble in water, and toxic.

∙ 7y agoCopper sulphate is more properly spelled as copper sulfate. The usual form is the hydrate, CuSO4.5H2O, though it can also be anhydrous CuSO4. The hydrate is a blue solid at room temperature. It is soluble in water and has rhombic crystals. It is a common lab chemical in elementary chemistry courses. It is used in fungicides. The anhydrous form is white and can be used as a test for the presence of water.

∙ 11y agoThe formula of copper sulfate [assuming that you copper (I)] is Cu2SO4, if you mean copper (II) then it would be CuSO4.

As long as we're throwing out archaic terms, maybe you can find some labelled "blue vitriol."

Can you store copper sulphate solution in silver vessel but not in aluminium vessel?
It is not possible to store copper sulphate solution in iron vessel.since ,iron is more reactive than copper,it displaces copper from any if its solution.the reaction takes place as , Fe(s)+CuSo4(aq)..............>FeSo4(aq)+Cu(s) (Blue color(light green solution)solution)
What is the chemical name of neela thotha?
nelathotha is hydrated Copper(II)Sulphate.Its formula is CuSO4.5H2O
What heavy metals that can be taken up by plants?
The metals having density more than 5 are usually known as heavy metals. Density of some heavy metals is as below: Zinc (Zn) 7.13 Iron (Fe) 7.87 Copper (Cu) 8.96 Silver (Ag) 10.49 Lead (Pb) 11.36 Mercury (Hg) 13.55 We use fertilizers which contain elements having density more 5 or more than 5 like zinc sulphate or copper sulphate ets. so we can say that plants take these heavy metals in shape of fertilizers.
How many kg in 1 bou neomycin sulphate?

What is Ba2SO4?
Ba3As2 is barium arsenide. Ba2As3-- doesn'exist.
What happens when copper sulphate is dissolved in water?
Copper Sulphate mixed with hot water makes Copper Sulphate Crystals.
Chemical reaction between calcium and copper sulphate?
calcium + copper sulphate = calcium sulphate + copper hydroxide
Why aqueous copper sulphate solution conduct electricity but solid copper sulphate does not?
aqueous copper sulphate having high conductive hydroxide ions were as no in solid Copper sulphate.
What do you get when you mix calcium and copper sulphate?

Does copper sulphate out a lighted splint?
does copper sulphate out a lighted splint
How is copper released from a copper sulphate solution?
silicate, carbonate or sulphate
What two things happen when zinc is added to copper sulphate?
The Zinc will displace the copper. It will become Zinc Sulphate. The word equation will be Zinc + Copper Sulphate -----> Copper + Zinc Sulphate. Hope this helps!
Does copper sulphate dissolve in oil?
No. All metal sulphate are soluble in water, except barium sulphate, calcium sulphate and lead sulphate.
Is anhydrous copper sulphate reversible?
is anhydrous copper sulphate reversible Yes, anhydrous copper sulphate is reversible just add water
Does hydrated copper sulphate increase the mass?
Hydrated Copper Sulphate is CuSO4.5H2O and Anhydrous copper sulphate is just CuSO4. Therefore, hydrated copper sulphate has extra mass due to water molecules present in it.
How does copper and zinc sulphate react together?
zinc is more reactive than copper hence it displaces the copper in copper sulphate solution to become zinc sulphate and copper metal is formed
