Answer:
- To crystallise copper sulphate, it is dissolved in water and a small quantity of dilute sulphuric acid is added to prevent the hydrolysis of copper sulphte. The impurities left behind in the solution are removed by filtration.
- Usually hydrolysis is a chemical process in which a molecule of water is added to a substance. Sometimes this addition causes both substance and water molecule to split into two parts. In such reactions, one fragment of the target molecule (or parent molecule) gains a hydrogen ion.
