Copper Sulphate

Copper (II) sulphate is also known as copper sulphate or cupric sulfate, is an inorganic compound having chemical formula CuSO4. This salt subsists as a series of compounds that differ in their degree of hydration. The anhydrous form is a pale green or gray-white powder, whereas the pentahydrate (CuSO4•5H2O), the most usually encountered salt, is bright blue. Copper (II) sulfate exothermically dissolves in water to give the aquo complex [Cu(H2O)6]2+, which has octahedral molecular geometry and is paramagnetic. Other names for copper(II) sulfate are "blue vitriol" and "bluestone".

Molar Mass: 159.609 g/mol (anhydrous) / 249.685 g/mol (pentahydrate).

Appearance: Blue

Applications:

• It is utilized as an pesticide, fungicide, herbicide, organic synthesis, analytical reagent, chemistry education, art, dyeing, etching, medical and public health.

Properties

• Copper Sulphate is highly water soluble compound owing to which it easily distributes in the environment. Copper cab be present in soil that may be from industries, motor vehicles and architectural materials. In accordance to studies, copper sulphate persists majorly in the surface soil and tends to bind organic matter. The less binding occurs when the soil is more acidic.
