The correct Answer is:
To determine which anhydrous salt turns blue when it comes in contact with water, we will analyze the behavior of various salts when dissolved in water. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Salts**: The salts we will consider include ferrous sulfate (FeSO4), copper sulfate (CuSO4), zinc sulfate (ZnSO4), and cobalt sulfate (CoSO4). 2. **Analyze Ferrous Sulfate (FeSO4)**: - When FeSO4 is dissolved in water, it forms a solution that is orange-red in color due to the presence of Fe²⁺ ions. - **Conclusion**: FeSO4 does not turn blue. 3. **Analyze Copper Sulfate (CuSO4)**: - When CuSO4 is dissolved in water, it forms a blue solution because of the Cu²⁺ ions. - **Conclusion**: CuSO4 turns blue when it comes in contact with water. 4. **Analyze Zinc Sulfate (ZnSO4)**: - When ZnSO4 is dissolved in water, it forms a colorless solution. - **Conclusion**: ZnSO4 does not turn blue. 5. **Analyze Cobalt Sulfate (CoSO4)**: - When CoSO4 is dissolved in water, it forms a solution that is olive or grey in color. - **Conclusion**: CoSO4 does not turn blue. ### Final Answer: The anhydrous salt that turns blue when it comes in contact with water is **Copper Sulfate (CuSO4)**.
