It turns into blueish clear crystals but only if u don't have a lid on it when it is heated!

add. as it is heated, the water of crystallization will be driven off, and soon you'll have a greenish powder.

Copper sulphate (anhydrous) has a very high energy bond, hence it has no reaction. Anhydrous copper sulphate is white in color. If you heat hydrated copper sulphate (blue in color) the water will evaporate, leaving the white anhydrous copper sulphate behind. CuSO4 (aqueous) > CuSO4 (s) + H2O

Initial chemical formula is: CuSO4.5H2O.

Dehydration:

- CuSO4.3H2O at 63 0C

- CuSO4.H2O at 109 0C

- CuSO4 at 200 0C

Thermal decomposition after 650 0C:

CuSO4 = CuO + SO3

Arround 650 °C, copper sulfate decomposes into copper oxide and sulfur trioxide .

CuSO4 →heat→ CuO + SO3

When blue salt of copper sulphate is heated it becomes colourless why?

actually blue salt of copper sulphate is chemically copper sulphate penta hydrate( CuSO4.5H2O ). blue coloure is due to thiese 5 moles of water . by heating this water evaporates and leaving CuSO4 which is colourless


What is the compound name for copper salt?

Copper Sulphate CuSO4Since the question did not include Oxygen, the answer is Copper Sulphide (CuxSx)If you have only Copper and Sulphur reacting the product is Copper Sulphide (CuS), not Copper Sulphate (CuSO4).Copper Sulphide is made when Copper and Sulphur are heated together - the product is a black solid.Copper Sulphate is produced when Copper is reacted either with sulphuric acid, or with a less reactive metal sulphate. Copper Sulphate is usually in the form of a blue solution but can be evaporated to produce a blue crystalline structure.


What is The name of the copper sulphate after being heated?

Copper Sulphate usually is found in a hydrated form (i.e., water molecules are incorporated into the crystals.) Pure copper sulphate is a pale, greenish gray color. The familiar blue color only occurs in hydrates of copper sulphate (i.e., in crystals that incorporate H20 molecules). Heating the blue crystals can drive off the water. It's still called copper sulphate after you do that. For substances like copper sulphate that naturally attract water, the adjective, anhydrous often is used to describe the pure (water free) state. If you heat copper sulphate to a temperature of 650C, it will decompose into something else. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_sulphate

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.


What colour is anhydrous copper sulphate once heated?

Anhydrous copper sulfate is white powder, heating makes no difference.
