Copper sulfate

Copper sulfate (CAS 7758-98-7) is a bright blue crystalline solid, typically encountered as the pentahydrated form (CuSO₄·5H₂O), which is odorless, non-volatile, and highly soluble in water; it decomposes before melting, losing hydration water progressively above 100 °C. It is an inorganic salt and transition metal compound, classified as a copper(II) sulfate. Copper sulfate serves as a key precursor in the production of other copper-based chemicals, including copper oxide, copper hydroxide, and basic copper carbonates, and is widely used in agrochemical formulations—particularly as a fungicide and algicide—and in electroplating baths for copper deposition. It is also employed in the manufacture of pigments, wood preservatives, and catalysts for organic synthesis.

Used as an antimicrobial and molluscicide.
Cupric sulfate, a bluish crystalline powder, also known as hydrocyanite and copper sulfate, vitriol, chalcanthite, and bluestone, is an azure blue material used in the It is used in the leather industry. It is prepared by the reaction of sulfuric acid and copper. It is also obtained as a by-product from copper refineries.
