Effect of heat on blue vitrol? |
| Answer» Blue vitriol, as we know it, is\xa0hydrated Copper(II) Sulphate, meaning CuSO4.5H2O.That 5H2O is the\xa0water of crystallization\xa0or the\xa0water of hydration. Those 5 molecules of water simply constitute the crystal i.e, they are merely embedded in between CuSO4 atoms.When blue vitriol is heated, those water of crystallization escape out of the crystal and what\'s left is\xa0anhydrous copper sulphate\xa0or simply CuSO4, without any water of crystallization.\xa0<br>By heating blue vitriol the H2O molecules get remove from cuso4 due to this the blue colour fade and change into white | |
