Explanation:
hydrated copper sulphate»(CuSO4.5H2O)
>> The colour is the substance CuSO4.5H2O is given by water to crystallisation only.
So when we heat it, the water molecules escape into surroundings and a white coloured anhydrous copper sulphate is left behind.
CuSO4.5H2O + Heat —>CuSO4 + 5H2O
( blue) ( white)
