Copper salts generally absorbs the light of a wavelength of 580-630 nm..By looking at the colour you will see that directly opposite the colour orange is the blue green...that's why most of the copper salts have blue colour

What color is the flame when you burn copper II chloride?

A: If you put a piece of copper wire on any type of flame (most preferably cooking flames), then you would observe that they produce a green color in the flame. Sometimes, it might give youa blue tinge but if it doesn't, it doesn't mean that there's something wrong with the copper you're using.


Is cupric sulfate blue?

Most people think that Cupric sulfate or Copper(II) sulfate, is blue in colour. But actually it is not. Blue colour in Copper(II) sulfate is due to the presence of Water molecules in it. This form is called Copper(II) sulfate Pentahydrate[CuSO4.5H2O], which most people see. If it does not have any water molecules in it, the thing is in pure state and is White in colour. This form is Anhydrous Copper(II) sulfate[CuSO4]. This form is rarely seen, because it can absorb water itself from the nature and become blue in colour. So from this we know that very pure Copper(II) sulfate is not blue, But its Pentahydrate form is blue.


Solution contains metallic ion blue in colour flame test produce blue green colour The solution forms a precipitate when sodium hydroxide is added to the solution What is the ion in the solution?

The metallic ion in the solution is likely copper(II) ion (Cu^2+). This is based on its blue color in a flame test, which gives a blue-green flame, and the formation of a blue precipitate when sodium hydroxide is added, indicating the presence of Cu(OH)2.


Deep blue minerals associated with copper deposits?

Deep blue minerals commonly associated with copper deposits include azurite and chrysocolla. These minerals can form as secondary minerals in oxidized zones of copper ore bodies, often resulting in vibrant blue hues. The presence of these minerals can be indicative of the presence of copper mineralization in the area.


What is an example of a blue mineral?

What is the color of copper sulphate?

Copper sulfate itself is white/colorless when anhydrous. However, it's hygroscopic and the pentahydrate (the usual form) is blue... in fact, it's just about the same color as the sidebar over to the left there.

Why copper is colorless but gold has color?

Whereas most pure metals are gray or silvery white, but gold is yellow. This color is determined by the density of loosely bound (valence) electrons; those electrons oscillate as a collective "plasma" medium described in terms of a quasiparticle calledplasmon. In the other hand copper compounds are commonly encountered as salts of Cu2+, which often impart blue or green colors. However Cu+ ion has no color.


What colours is copper sulphate?

Pure copper sulfate is actually a white-grayish -green powder. When water is added it makes the pentahydrate CuSO4.5H2O which is quite a deep blue in color which is what most people would answer and think of as the color.

Do soluble salts show any colour in aqueous state?

Most of them don't, but some do give color in aquous solution, eg. copper(II) ions are blue, iron(III) = ferric ions are pale green, cobalt rose colored, KMnO4 solution is very dark purple (potassium permanganate)
