Copper(II) sulfate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Cu SO 4.It forms hydrates CuSO 4 ·nH 2 O, where n can range from 1 to 7. The pentahydrate (n = 5), a bright blue crystal, is the most commonly encountered hydrate of copper(II) sulfate, [10] while its anhydrous form is white. [11]
Copper(I) sulfate, also known as cuprous sulfate, is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Cu 2 SO 4. It is a white solid, in contrast to copper(II) sulfate, which is blue in hydrous form. Compared to the commonly available reagent, copper(II) sulfate, copper(I) sulfate is unstable and not readily available. [1]
Molecular weight (M.W.) (for molecular compounds) and formula weight (F.W.) (for non-molecular compounds), are older terms for what is now more correctly called the relative molar mass (M r). [8] This is a dimensionless quantity (i.e., a pure number, without units) equal to the molar mass divided by the molar mass constant. [notes 1]
Tetraamminecopper(II) sulfate monohydrate, or more precisely tetraammineaquacopper(II) sulfate, is the salt with the formula [Cu(N H 3) 4]S O 4 ·H 2 O, or more precisely [Cu(NH 3) 4 (H 2 O)]SO 4. This dark blue to purple solid is a sulfuric acid salt of the metal complex [Cu(NH 3 ) 4 (H 2 O)] 2+ (tetraammineaquacopper(II) cation ).
Green vitriol is iron(II) sulfate heptahydrate, FeSO 4 ·7H 2 O; blue vitriol is copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate, CuSO 4 ·5H 2 O and white vitriol is zinc sulfate heptahydrate, ZnSO 4 ·7H 2 O. Alum, a double sulfate of potassium and aluminium with the formula K 2 Al 2 (SO 4) 4 ·24H 2 O, figured in the development of the chemical industry.

Benedict's reagent (often called Benedict's qualitative solution or Benedict's solution) is a chemical reagent and complex mixture of sodium carbonate, sodium citrate, and copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate. [1] It is often used in place of Fehling's solution to detect the presence of reducing sugars and other reducing substances. [2]
The heptahydrate is isostructural with ferrous sulfate heptahydrate. The solid consists of [Zn(H 2 O) 6] 2+ ions interacting with sulfate and one water of crystallization by hydrogen bonds. Anhydrous zinc sulfate is isomorphous with anhydrous copper(II) sulfate. It exists as the mineral zincosite. [15] A monohydrate is known. [16]
