Physical Properties

Copper sulfate is an inorganic compound that has the chemical formula CuSO4. Its blue color and odourless powder form make it easy to identify. It is soluble in water, methanol, and slightly soluble in ethanol.

In its anhydrous form, it is a white powder that turns blue when mixed with water molecules. It is also a crystalline solid in its pentahydrate form, which is a bright blue crystal.

When hydrated, it is a blue solid with five water molecules attached to one cooper sulfate molecule. Its color is determined by the type of bond that it forms with the water molecules.

It forms hydrates of the formula: CuSO4*nH2O where n is a number ranging from 1 to 7. The most common hydrate is the pentahydrate, which is exothermically dissolved in water and gives the aquo complex [Cu(H2O)6]2+ with octahedral molecular geometry.

This chemical is used in pesticides as a fungicide, herbicide, and algaecide. Its broad spectrum of effects helps it to be widely applied to a wide range of crops and plants.

Before it is registered for use as a pesticide, copper sulfate undergoes laboratory testing to determine its long-term health effects on humans and animals. This helps scientists decide how best to protect people from the toxicity of copper sulfate. Some of these effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, and even heart damage. If these effects happen, you should seek medical help right away. It can be difficult to treat these symptoms and the longer you wait, the more likely it is that they will become severe.
