Description

Effects of Temperature and Water on Copper(II) Sulfate

Copper(II) sulfate can exist in a hydrated form (CuSO4·5H2O) and an anhydrous form (CuSO4). Heating the hydrated form leads to dehydration, while adding water to the anhydrous form leads to hydration.

  1. a

    State the effect of heating on hydrated copper(II) sulfate.

    Aim for approximately 1 distinct marking point.
