"Because there might be big chunks of matter in it that you want to get rid of."
The filtering may be sometimes necessary to remove insoluble impurities.
Copper sulphate is soluble, sulphur is insoluble. Dissolve the mixture in water. The copper sulphate will dissolve, the sulphur will not dissolve. Filter. The blue soluble of copper sulphate will passthrough the filter paper. The sulphur (yellow) will remain in the filter paper.
nothing will happen as i have done this experiment. I think it is because iron is more reactive than copper, so the copper can't take away the sulphate. but if you added the iron to a copper sulphate solution the product would be iron sulphate this reaction is called displacment.

A copper sulphate solution can have different concentrations depending on how much copper sulphate crystals have been added into the water. A typical 1 molar solution of copper sulphate would need 250g of CuSO4, mixed with 700ml of H2O, with 10ml of H2SO4 added with another 290ml of water.
Half a pound
no reaction would take place

magnesium+copper sulphate =no reaction
Anhydrous or hydrated copper sulphate crystals? And from what?
According to the Royal Horticultural Society, it is a mixture of ammonium carbonate and copper sulphate. I think the relative proportions are probably a trade secret, but since most fungicide control compounds include copper sulphate and one other ingredient, you can likely assume that the copper sulphate is the most important part. Thus a weak mixture of copper sulphate would likely work OK as a replacement. Bordeaux mixture uses copper sulphate and hydrated lime. Hydrated lime (calcium carbonate) is a kinder and more easily sourced ingredient than ammonium sulphate so I would try that before Cheshunt compound. Copper sulphate can be sourced from equestrian supply shops because it is used as a foot bath for horses (again for its antifungal properties). Be careful using it - it is poisonous to fish so NEVER put it down the drain or on land near a river.... so only mix up what you need and keep it away from children.
melt the copper sulfate and see what appers
What effect would dissolving some copper sulphate crystals in the water have on its boiling point?
I DONT KNOW
The copper will appear on the surface of the nail, so it will be different in colour-it'll be like copper.
A physical change is different from a chemical change in two ways:1) In a physical change no new substances are made; in a chemical change new substances are made.2) A physical change can be easily reversed; a chemical change cannot be easily reversed.Dissolving copper sulphate in water does not produce a new substance. The copper sulphate solution is a mixture, not a pure substance.Also, by evaporating the water you can easily get the copper sulphate back again.So, dissolving copper sulphate is a physical change.Sometimes, though, when water is added to copper sulphate, it reacts with the water to form copper sulphate pentahydrate, which is a new compound. This would be a chemical change, but actually dissolving it is indeed a physical change only.See these sites for more information:http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks3bitesize/science/chemistry/chem_react_2.shtmlhttp://www.chem4kids.com/files/matter_chemphys.html
A solution is a mixture of any two substances, usually a liquid. Copper sulphate and water is a solution. There are many other solutions as well. Water and milk is a solution, mixing chemicals. Any mix of materials is technically a solution.
