Hydrous copper sulfate appears blue due to its molecular structure and the way it interacts with light. The presence of water in its structure causes the copper ions to absorb certain wavelengths of light in the visible spectrum, reflecting blue light back to our eyes. This selective absorption and reflection of light give hydrous copper sulfate its characteristic blue color.

What colour does hydrous copper sulphate turn when heated?

Hydrous copper sulphate, when heated, turns into anhydrous copper sulphate and changes its color from blue to white. The blue color comes from the water molecules bound to the copper sulphate crystals, and when heated, these water molecules are removed, resulting in a color change.
