🔹 Copper(II) Sulfate – Short Specs
Chemical Name: Copper(II) sulfate
Common Forms:
- Pentahydrate (CuSO₄·5H₂O) – bright blue crystals
- Anhydrous (CuSO₄) – white to gray powder
Molecular Weight:
- Pentahydrate: ~249.7 g/mol
- Anhydrous: ~159.6 g/mol
Appearance:
- Vivid blue crystals (the famous “laboratory sapphire”)
- Odorless, crystalline solid
Solubility:
