The blue color is due to the formation of coordinate covalent bonds between water molecules and the copper cations in solution to form a complex cation that absorbs yellow light and therefore looks blue in transmitted light.

Why is colour of copper sulphate blue?
The colour of Copper sulphate is blue because Copper ions absorb light in all frequencies except blue which is reflected instead.
How copper sulphate diffuse in water?
copper sulphate gets hydrated in water and thus is diffusible.
What is the chemical formula of blue vitrol?
formula : cuso4 chemical name: copper sulphate
What is the formula and uses for another compound using copper?
CuSO4 white un-hydrous copper Sulphate used for detection of water as it turns blue if water exists.
When CuSo4 solution is placed in a beaker containing water it turns blue?
The molecules of copper sulphate solution mixes with the water molecules due to diffusion thereby making the water blue.
What happens when copper sulphate is dissolved in water?
Copper Sulphate mixed with hot water makes Copper Sulphate Crystals.
What color is copper sulphate solution and water mixture?
Copper sulphate's colour is blue.
Why does the copper sulphate powder turn blue and gets hot when add water to it?
Cuz it's copper sulphate
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!!!!!!!!!!!
When blue salt of copper sulphate is heated it becomes colourless why?
actually blue salt of copper sulphate is chemically copper sulphate penta hydrate( CuSO4.5H2O ). blue coloure is due to thiese 5 moles of water . by heating this water evaporates and leaving CuSO4 which is colourless
Let the fourmula for the hydrous copper sulphate be CuSO4XH20 where X represents the number of water molecules write a balanced equation for the heating of the blue copper sulphate crystals?
Let the fourmula for the hydrous copper sulphate be CuSO4XH20 where X represents the number of water molecules write a balanced equation for the heating of the blue copper sulphate crystals?
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.
Why blue crystals of copper sulphate on heating turn colourless?
The formula of the blue crystals of copper sulphate is CuSO4.5H2O. When they are heated mildly, the water from the crystals evaporate, giving just CuSO4. This 'anhydrous' form of copper (II) sulphate is white in colour.
How does you copper sulphate solution look different from water?
Copper sulfate solution is clear and blue Water is clear and colorless
Test for presence of water in anhydrous copper sulphate?
In the presence of water the white anhydrous copper sulfate become blue.
What happens when you put copper sulphate in water?
The copper sulfate dissolves and turns into a royal-blue color.
When mixed with water why does copper sulphate turn water blue?
because when in a solution it forms blue crystals creating a blue colour
