General description

Anhydrous form of copper sulfate occurs as mineral hydrocyanite. It exhibits a rhombic crystalline morphology. It decomposes to its oxide at temperatures above 600^oC. Hydrate of CuSO₄ is prepared by the addition of dilute sulfuric acid on copper (II) oxide or copper (II) carbonate, blue triclinic crystals of pentahydrate are formed upon crystallization. In industrial preparation of CuSO₄, a hot mixture of dilute sulfuric acid and scrap copper is exposed to air flow.
