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]
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(II) sulfate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Cu SO 4. It forms hydrates CuSO 4 · n H 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 ]
A sample of copper(I) oxide. Copper forms a rich variety of compounds, usually with oxidation states +1 and +2, which are often called cuprous and cupric, respectively. [1] Copper compounds, whether organic complexes or organometallics, promote or catalyse numerous chemical and biological processes. [2]
With the approximate formula Cu 1.96 S, this material is non-stoichiometric (range Cu 1.934 S-Cu 1.965 S) and has a monoclinic structure with 248 copper and 128 sulfur atoms in the unit cell. [7] Cu 2 S and Cu 1.96 S are similar in appearance and hard to distinguish one from another. [9]
The sulfate ion carries an overall charge of −2 and it is the conjugate base of the bisulfate (or hydrogensulfate) ion, HSO − 4, which is in turn the conjugate base of H 2 SO 4, sulfuric acid. Organic sulfate esters , such as dimethyl sulfate , are covalent compounds and esters of sulfuric acid.
