To obtain big crystals of blue vitriol (copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate), you can start by dissolving copper(II) sulfate in hot water to create a saturated solution. Allow the solution to cool slowly at room temperature, which promotes the formation of larger crystals as the solubility decreases. For even larger crystals, you can place the solution in a cool, undisturbed environment or in a refrigerator, allowing more time for crystallization. Finally, carefully collect the crystals by filtration and let them dry.
Crystals in general are formed when solutions try to maintain concentrations at or below saturation. For example, a saturated sugar solution forms crystals when water from the solution evaporates and leaves excess sugar behind. Since supersaturation is a highly unstable and thus undesirable state of being for a solution, the dissolved sugar left behind will clump together at sites of nucleation to let the remaining solution remain below supersaturation. Crystals will continue to grow as long as the concentration of solutes in the solution can increase above saturation. To grow large blue vitriol crystals, one can simply prepare a saturated solution in a large container and let it sit undisturbed for as long as possible while evaporating steadily, removing the crystals when they are a satisfactory size or before the solution dries up entirely.
Blue vitriol is the old fashioned name for Copper Sulfate - so there is copper, sulfur and oxygen present
Blue vitriol (copper(II) sulfate) absorbs water when exposed to air because it is hygroscopic, meaning it has a tendency to attract and hold water molecules from the surrounding environment. This property causes the blue vitriol crystals to become hydrated, forming a hydrate compound that contains water molecules within its structure.
Yes, blue vitriol, which is chemically known as copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO₄·5H₂O), is indeed associated with water molecules. The "pentahydrate" part of its name indicates that each formula unit of copper sulfate is combined with five water molecules. This hydration gives blue vitriol its characteristic blue color and affects its physical properties, such as solubility and crystallization.

Blue vitriol is a compound. It has molecular formula CuSO4.7H2O.
CuSO4.5H2O
Copper(II) Sulphate(VI) is known as blue vitriol.
The blue copper(II) sulfate is a pentahydrate: CuSO4.5H2O. The anhydrous form - CuSO4 - is white.

Blue vitriol is a very obsolete name for the copper(II)sulphate: CuSO4. Don't use in the future this term. Pentahydratated copper(II) sulphate: CuSO4.5H2O - bright blue color After the dehydratation of the above compound we obtain the anhydrous copper(II) sulphate: CuSO4 - pale green color.
There are many different oils, but they are largely non-polar so it's unlikely that an ionic compound such as copper sulfate (blue vitriol) will dissolve in any of them to any appreciable extent.
The chemical formula for blue vitriol (copper sulphate pentahydrate) is CuSO4.
Not sure about blue viriol but blue vitriol is copper sulphate.
Blue vitriol is an old name that is in common use. Copper sulfate is also a common name!
