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]
Cu 2 SO 4 can also be synthesized by the action of dimethyl sulfate on cuprous oxide: [4] Cu 2 O + (CH 3 O) 2 SO 2 → Cu 2 SO 4 + (CH 3) 2 O. The material is stable in dry air at room temperature but decomposes rapidly in presence of moisture or upon heating. It decomposes into copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate upon contact with water. [4]
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]
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]
CuSO 4 ·5H 2 O – copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate; CoCl 2 ·6H 2 O – cobalt(II) chloride hexahydrate; SnCl 2 ·2H 2 O – tin(II) (or stannous) chloride dihydrate; For many salts, the exact bonding of the water is unimportant because the water molecules are made labile upon dissolution.
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 ).
Copper is a chemical element with the symbol Cu (from Latin: cuprum) and the atomic number of 29. It is easily recognisable, due to its distinct red-orange color . Copper also has a range of different organic and inorganic salts , having varying oxidation states ranging from (0,I) to (III).
Copper sulfate may refer to: Copper(II) sulfate, CuSO 4, a common, greenish blue compound used as a fungicide and herbicide; Copper(I) sulfate, Cu 2 SO 4, an unstable ...
