The copper sulfate is ionic because it dissolves much more easily in water and other substances than the iodine does, which means it is an ion.

How would you remove essentially all the iodine while leaving the water in the bag?

How to remove iodine from a solution of water? I'm assuming your talking about a iodine salt (such as sodium iodide) as elemental iodine (I2) is not that soluble in water. To remove simply add in another salt (such as copper sulfate) that will react with the iodide producing an insoluble salt (copper iodide) which can then be removed.

How is cuprous iodide prepared?

React a solution of Copper(II) sulfate with Sodium Iodide. It will produce Copper(II) Iodide and Sodium sulfate. This Copper(II) iodide, due to instability, spontaneously decomposes, producing Iodine and Copper(I) Iodide.The Copper(I) iodide comes out as a yellowish brown precipitate. So the overall reaction seems to be:2 CuSO4 + 4 NaI ----> 2 CuI + 2 Na2SO4 + I2
