Copper Sulphate is a naturally occurring chemical compound, also known as Copper (II) Sulphate, Bluestone or Blue Vitriol. A common salt of copper, it can be found in a variety of forms which are differentiated by their level of hydration.In its anhydrous form, copper sulphate is a pale green or grey-white powder. A substance istermed anhydrous if it does not contain any water. If copper sulphate must be stored in thisform, careful consideration must be taken to prevent the powder absorbing any waterpresent in the atmosphere. In a stark visual contrast, the more common pentahydrate formof copper sulphate is a vibrant blue. It is typically produced by combining copper metal andheated concentrated sulphuric acid, or alternatively, through oxidisation with sulphuricacid.A major application for copper sulphate is the agricultural industry. It can be used ininfrequent doses as a fertiliser to help correct copper deficiencies in soil, identifiable by a yellowing of plant leaves. In addition, it works brilliantly as a preventative fungicide.
