Copper carbonate or copper hydroxide can be used as alternatives to copper oxide in preparing copper sulfate. These compounds can react with sulfuric acid to produce copper sulfate in a similar manner to copper oxide.
Excess copper carbonate is added to ensure that all the copper sulphate is fully converted. This helps to make sure that all the starting material is used up and that the reaction goes to completion, resulting in a higher yield of pure copper sulphate crystals.
Copper sulphate crystals form when a hot saturated solution of copper sulphate is cooled down. As the solution cools, the solubility of copper sulphate decreases, causing the excess copper sulphate to come out of the solution and form crystals.
No, it cannot be prepared by this method under normal conditions. For preparing copper sulphate, copper should be added to the sulphate salt of a metal which is less reactive than copper like Mercury, silver and gold
The Malayalam word for copper sulphate is താമര സൾഫേറ്റ് (thaamara sulphate).
Yes, copper sulphate can dissolve in water. When added to water, copper sulphate dissociates into copper ions (Cu2+) and sulphate ions (SO4 2-), forming a blue-colored solution.
The colour of Copper sulphate is blue because Copper ions absorb light in all frequencies except blue which is reflected instead.
Copper sulphate obtained from the pharmacy can be used on cuts. Other sources of copper sulfate, such as root removing compounds cannot be used on the skin because they contain other substances. Copper sulphate can help to kill pathogens that cause infection.

For copper, it is an element. It could be both reactant and product. While purifying copper will be the product. But copper would be the reactant in case of preparing hydrogen or copper sulphate salts.
No, copper sulphate crystals do not have cleavage planes because they are not considered minerals with cleavage. Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along specific planes due to its crystal structure, which copper sulphate does not exhibit. Instead, copper sulphate crystals tend to break irregularly along their structure.

A physical change is different from a chemical change in two ways:1) In a physical change no new substances are made; in a chemical change new substances are made.2) A physical change can be easily reversed; a chemical change cannot be easily reversed.Dissolving copper sulphate in water does not produce a new substance. The copper sulphate solution is a mixture, not a pure substance.Also, by evaporating the water you can easily get the copper sulphate back again.So, dissolving copper sulphate is a physical change.Sometimes, though, when water is added to copper sulphate, it reacts with the water to form copper sulphate pentahydrate, which is a new compound. This would be a chemical change, but actually dissolving it is indeed a physical change only.See these sites for more information:http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks3bitesize/science/chemistry/chem_react_2.shtmlhttp://www.chem4kids.com/files/matter_chemphys.html
The Zinc will displace the copper. It will become Zinc Sulphate. The word equation will be Zinc + Copper Sulphate -----> Copper + Zinc Sulphate. Hope this helps!
zinc is more reactive than copper hence it displaces the copper in copper sulphate solution to become zinc sulphate and copper metal is formed
it will form magnesium sulphate + copper
Iron(Fe) + Copper Sulphate(CuSO4) → Iron Sulphate(Fe2SO4) + Copper(Cu)[Displacement Reaction]
No, it cannot be prepared by this method under normal conditions. For preparing copper sulphate, copper should be added to the sulphate salt of a metal which is less reactive than copper like Mercury, silver and gold
