Cupric Sulfate is also known as Copper(II) sulfate and is considered a salt. The II and the -ic suffix for the copper represent 2 electrons lost (creating a doubly charged Copper positive ion [cation]) to the Sulfate molecule, which acquires a negative 2 charge and is an anion.

Salts are written with the electron donor first and the electron receiver second.

In anhydrous form there is no water (There is no hydrogen so no pH) --and no bright blue crystal Cu2+SO42-

In the crystalized form, 5 molecules of water (pentahydrate) becomes part of the structure for each atom of Copper (Cu). The chemical formula is CuSO4•5H2O. Dissolved in solution (water) cupric sulfate is a strong electrolyte and conductor of electricity. Expect an acidic pH of 3.7 to 4.5
