The chemical equation is:
CuSO4-----------CuO + SO3
When copper sulphate crystals dissolve in water, the copper and sulphate ions separate and move randomly in the water due to thermal motion. This random movement leads to the spreading of the copper and sulphate ions from an area of high concentration (crystals) to an area of low concentration. This process is known as diffusion.
A crystal of copper sulfate contains copper, sulfur and oxygen.
When blue copper sulphate is heated, it loses water molecules and converts to anhydrous copper sulfate, which is white in color. The blue color of copper sulfate is due to the presence of water molecules in its crystal structure.
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.
A copper sulfate crystal does not contain water molecules within its structure. However, if we consider hydrated copper sulfate crystals such as CuSO4·5H2O, then there are 5 water molecules associated with each copper sulfate molecule in the crystal.
copper sulphate is a beautiful blue crystal [and yes it is spelt Sulphate not Sulfate]
they dissolve or dilute
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.
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.

When blue copper sulphate is heated, it loses water molecules and converts to anhydrous copper sulfate, which is white in color. The blue color of copper sulfate is due to the presence of water molecules in its crystal structure.
When blue copper sulfate crystals are heated, the water of crystallization evaporates, turning the blue crystals white. This is due to the loss of water molecules, resulting in anhydrous copper sulfate.
Anhydrous copper sulfate solid is white. When it is added to water, it dissolves and the solution of aqueous copper sulfate becomes blue.
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.
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
