Describe the process of making copper
sulphate crystals
Answers
Answer
Crystals of copper sulphate are prepared by the method of crystallization.
The process is as followed:
Step 1: A cupful of water in a beaker is taken.
Step 2: Few drops of dilute sulphuric acid is added to it.
Step 3: Water is heated and when it starts boiling copper sulphate powder is added slowly while stirring till no more copper sulphate powder dissolved in it.
Step 4: Solution is filtered and let it cool without disturbance. After some time the crystals of copper can be observed in it.
hope this helps you!!^_^
Answer:
Crystals of copper sulphate are prepared by the method of crystallization. ... Step 3: Water is heated and when it starts boiling copper sulphate powder is added slowly while stirring till no more copper sulphate powder dissolved in it. Step 4: Solution is filtered and let it cool without disturbance.
Step by Step:
: Place some sulfuric acid in a conical flask and warm it in a water bath.
: Add a spatula of copper oxide powder to the acid and stir with a glass rod.
: Continue adding copper oxide powder until it is in excess.
: Filter the mixture to remove the excess copper oxide.
: Pour the filtrate (the copper sulfate solution) into an evaporating basin.
: Heat the copper sulfate solution to evaporate half of the water.
: Pour the solution into a watch glass and leave to allow all of the water to evaporate.
Result:
Record the appearance of the copper sulfate crystals, including their colour and shape.
Analysis:
Hydrated copper sulfate crystals should be blue and regularly shaped. Describe how your crystals compare to this description. Suggest an explanation for any differences.
