The hydrated copper sulfate (blue color) become white after heating and releasing of water; the white anhydrous copper sulfate is obtained.
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.
The 5 water molecules are driven off by heating and the central Copper atom is no longer complexed by the water molecules which affects the energy and hence the color of the resulting anhydrous Copper Sulfate.
CuSO4.5H2O is a blue solid on heating it loses water molecules and becomes colourless.
Anhydrous copper sulfate is white powder, heating makes no difference.
Describe the appearance and odor of the liquid obtained by heating copper II sulfate pentahydrate.
The blue copper sulfate pentahydrate loss by heating water and become an anhydrous white sulfate.
You'll get first: blue Cu-sulfate pentahydrate crystall's and after further heating: white anhydrous Cu-sulfate powder.
If you were to add water to anhydrous cupric sulfate it would be pentahydrate a bright blue.

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.
Anhydrous Copper Sulfate will be white. The original crystals (CuSO4 pentahydrate) will be blue.
The 5 water molecules are driven off by heating and the central Copper atom is no longer complexed by the water molecules which affects the energy and hence the color of the resulting anhydrous Copper Sulfate.
The anhydrous copper(II) sulfate is white, the pentahydrate is blue.Iron is gray.
Yes.
CuSO4.5H2O is a blue solid on heating it loses water molecules and becomes colourless.
