Solution

Concentrated sulphuric acid is a strong dehydrated agent. It takes out the water of crystallization from the crystals of copper sulphate leaving behind an anhydrous white powder of Cu₂SO₄.
Cu₂SO₄.5H₂O ------> Cu₂SO₄ + 5H₂O
Copper Sulphate crystals Anhydrous Copper Sulphate ( absorbed by (blue) (white) Conc. H₂SO₄)
