Question 8
Describe how crystals of copper sulphate are prepared.

Answer 1

Crystals of copper sulphate are prepared by the method of crystallization.
The process is as followed:
Step 1: A cupful of water in a beaker is taken.
Step 2: Few drops of dilute sulphuric acid is added to it.
Step 3: Heat it gently.
Step 4: When it starts boiling add copper sulphate powder slowly while stirring continuously.
Step 5: Keep adding Copper sulphate powder until no more powder can be dissolved in it.
Step 6: Now, allow the solution to slowly cool down.
Step 7: As the solution cools, we observe crystals of Copper Sulphate forming in the beaker.
