Answer:
The white copper sulphate changes to blue copper sulphate with the addition of water.
Explanation:
Copper sulphate is white in the anhydrous form (with no water of crystallization) and changes to blue copper sulphate as water is added to it. It forms a blue crystalline structure often called blue vitriol with 5 molecules of water or pentahydrate. When water is added to it, it forms a bubble to liberate heat and crystallizes.
