Why does white anhydrous copper sulphate turn blue when water is added?

It turns blue because copper forms blue crystals when in solution. As soon as the water evaporates, there's nowhere for the copper to be in "solution", so it loses its colour. When water is added again, the crystals regain the "solution" state and turn blue!

∙ 13y agoit is actually the hydrogen mixed with oxygen. When these two mix the setharene inside the hydrogen combines with the glucomate in oxygen to produce setharene glucomide. This invokes a pigment in the copper sulphate with a tiny electrical impulse. It then turns blue.

∙ 10y agoWhen water is added dissolving the anhydrous salt the copper ion , Cu2+ forms an octahedral complex with water molecules, Cu(H2O)6 2+ this complex is colored as the splitting of the d orbitals due to the water molecules (ligand field theory) means that the complex absorbs light as the electrons in the d orbitals are excited.

Is anhydrous copper sulphate reversible?
is anhydrous copper sulphate reversible Yes, anhydrous copper sulphate is reversible just add water
Test for presence of water in anhydrous copper sulphate?
In the presence of water the white anhydrous copper sulfate become blue.
What happens when water is added to anhydrous copper II sulphate?
it changes colour from a white powder to a blue powder
What is the chemical formula of anhydrous copper sulphate?
Anhydrous Copper sulfate has the chemical formula CuSO4.
When blue colour copper sulphate crystal are heated?
when blue Copper sulphate is heated, it loses its water part of crystallisation and tuns into white, anhydrous copper sulphate crystal
When added to copper sulphate what colour is anhydrous copper sulphate?
anhydrous copper sulphate is white. when water is added it turns blue, in essence it can be used to detect the presence of water. hope this helps!!!!!!!!!!!
Is anhydrous copper sulphate reversible?
is anhydrous copper sulphate reversible Yes, anhydrous copper sulphate is reversible just add water
What colour is pure water when anhydrous copper sulphate is added and is there a soild residue?
Anhydrous copper sulfate solid is white. When it is added to water, it dissolves and the solution of aqueous copper sulfate becomes blue.
How do you prepare copper sulphate solution?
Add anhydrous copper sulphate to distilled water.
Test for presence of water in anhydrous copper sulphate?
In the presence of water the white anhydrous copper sulfate become blue.
What happens when water is added to anhydrous copper II sulphate?
it changes colour from a white powder to a blue powder
Why does the water colour change to blue when copper sulphate was added?
Anhydrous copper(II) sulphate is white. When added to water, it forms a solution of CuSO4(aq) which is blue because of the Cu2+ ion, which is itself a transition metal ion.
What happens if Copper Sulphate penta-hydrate is heated?
Copper sulphate pentahydrate loses water of crystallisation and becomes white amorphous anhydrous copper sulphate.
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.
What happens when water comes in contact with white copper sulphate crystals?
The white copper sulphate will become blue. This is because copper sulphate usually has 5 moles of H2O, but it has reached a temperature where all five moles will have detached themselves from the copper sulphate, so it will become anhydrous (without water) and white. Then, when water is added back to it, it returns to its original blue state.
What is water anhydrous copper ll sulphate?
Anhydrous copper II sulphate is a white crystal of formula CuSO4. This crystal can bind to five molecules of water, called water of crystallisation. This compound is then called blue vitriol since it has a blue color.
What is the chemical formula of anhydrous copper sulphate?
Anhydrous Copper sulfate has the chemical formula CuSO4.
