Describe how crystals of copper sulphate are prepared.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Crystallization is the process by which we can obtain crystals of copper sulphate. In this process, a few drops of dilute sulphuric acid is added to water. The water is then boiled & as it starts boiling, copper sulphate powder is added with stirring. The powder must be added on till the solution becomes saturated. Afterwards, it is filtered into a china dish and allowed to cool, undisturbed. After some time the crystals of copper sulphate separate out.
