How will you prepare crystals of copper sulfate?
Answers
Aims
To prepare pure, dry hydrated copper(II) sulfate crystals starting from copper oxide
Method
1- place some sulfuric acid in a beaker and warm it in a water bath
2-add a spatula of copper(II) oxide powder to the acid and stir with a glass rod
3-continue adding copper(II) oxide powder until it is in excess
4-filter the mixture to remove the excess copper(II) oxide
5-pour the filtrate (the copper(II) sulfate solution) into an evaporating basin
6-heat the copper(II) sulfate solution to evaporate half the water
7-pour the solution into an evaporating basin and leave to allow all the water to evaporate
Result
Record the appearance of the copper(II) sulfate crystals, including their colour and shape
Analysis
Hydrated copper(II) sulfate crystals should be blue and regularly shaped. Describe how your crystals compare to this description. Suggest an explanation for any differences.
