Best Answer

Any water soluble blue salt (and which does not react with water) can turn the solution blue. For example = Copper(II) sulfate[CuSO4], Oxovanadium(IV) sulfate[VOSO4], Copper(II) nitrate[Cu(NO3)2], etc.

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.

Why when you heat up copper sulphate does it turn blue?

You have this backwards. Copper sulfate, CuSO4.5H2O is blue. When it is gently heated, it loses water and turns white.CuSO4.5H2O --> CuSO4 + 5 H2O.The white substance is anhydrous copper sulfate. If you put water on it it turns blue again.

Is copper oxide soluble?

copper sulphate is soluble in water - take the reaction to form blue crystals (sulphuric acid + copper carbonate) - once the water is evaporated off blue crystals are left. And if the water is evaporated off still the crystals turn white! so it must be.
