The water from the solution evaporates. A decrease at mass and volume would also occur.

Is anhydrous copper sulphate reversible?

Anhydrous copper sulfate (CuSO4) is reversible in the sense that it can absorb water molecules from the environment to form hydrated copper sulfate. Conversely, hydrated copper sulfate can be heated to drive off the water molecules, regenerating anhydrous copper sulfate. This process is reversible as it involves only physical changes and not chemical reactions.


Why does the color of copper sulphate change when an iron nail dipped in it?

When an iron nail is placed in a copper sulphate solution, iron displaces copper from copper sulphate solution forming iron sulphate, which is green in colour.Therefore, the blue colour of copper sulphate solution fades and green colour appears.


Does copper sulphate undergo any physical or chemical changes during heating?

When heated, copper sulfate undergoes a reversible physical change where it loses its water molecules (dehydration) and changes color from blue to white. This process is purely physical and does not involve any chemical reactions.


Which atoms are found in copper sulphate?

Copper Sulphate is composed of copper, sulfur, and oxygen. The chemical formula is CuSO4.


Do copper sulphate crystals have cleavage planes?

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.

What changes in the colour of iron nails and coppper sulphate solution do you observe after keeping the iron nails in copper sulphate solution for about half an hour?

After keeping iron nails in a copper sulfate solution for about half an hour, you will observe that the color of the iron nails changes to a reddish-brown due to the deposition of copper on the surface of the nails. The blue color of the copper sulfate solution will fade as copper is transferred from the solution to the nails.


What substance changes blue anhydrous copper sulphate crystals to white?

Water changes blue anhydrous copper sulphate crystals to white by creating hydrated copper sulphate, which is white in color.


Why do you use copper sulphate?

A rather incomplete question. I could use copper sulphate for a number of reasons, for example as an electrolyte for copper plating, as a medium for growing impressive deep blue crystals, as a fungicide and so on. For fun, try dropping some iron filings into a fairly concentrated solution of copper sulphate and observe how the iron filings change to a copper colour and the solution changes to a green colour.


What is the largest mass of copper sulphate which can be dissolved in 50 grams of water at 60 degrees?

Approximately 73.2 grams of copper sulphate can be dissolved in 50 grams of water at 60 degrees Celsius. This is the maximum amount of copper sulphate that the water can hold in a saturated solution at that temperature.


What two colour changes do you get when you add copper sulphate solution to iron wool?

When you add copper sulphate solution to iron wool. The iron wool turns copper in color and the copper sulphate solution turns pale blue as the iron displaces the copper from the copper sulphate solution forming iron sulfate.


What colour does hydrous copper sulphate turn when heated?

Hydrous copper sulphate, when heated, turns into anhydrous copper sulphate and changes its color from blue to white. The blue color comes from the water molecules bound to the copper sulphate crystals, and when heated, these water molecules are removed, resulting in a color change.


What changes take place when silver is immersed in copper sulphate solution?

When silver is immersed in copper sulphate solution, a redox reaction takes place where silver displaces copper from the copper sulphate solution. This results in the formation of silver sulphate and metallic copper deposits on the silver surface. Over time, the silver object may lose its shine due to the formation of copper deposits on its surface.


What happens when an iron nail is dipped in copper sulphate solution?

A brown layer of copper gets deposited on iron nail. This change is due to a chemical reaction between copper sulphate and iron. Also the colour of the solution changes from blue to green due to the formation of iron sulphate. This reaction can be represented by the following equation: Copper sulphate + Iron = Iron sulphate + Copper solution (CuSO4) + (Fe) = (FeSO) + (Cu)


What do copper sulphate crystals form when a hot saturated solution of copper sulphate is cooled?

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.


What two things happen when zinc is added to copper sulphate?

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!


How does copper and zinc sulphate react together?

zinc is more reactive than copper hence it displaces the copper in copper sulphate solution to become zinc sulphate and copper metal is formed


What will happen when you react magnesium and copper sulphate?

it will form magnesium sulphate + copper
