Copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate CAS#7758-99-8
Copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate is known as blue vitriol. It is an odorless blue crystal that readily dissolves in water. It is also soluble in methanol, glycerol and slightly soluble in ethanol. The highly toxic, non-combustible has a nauseating metallic taste and turns white when dehydrated. Structurally, in the pentahydrate molecule, each copper(II) ions is surrounded by four water molecules in the corners and the fifth water molecule is attached by hydrogen bonding. Copper (II) sulfate has many applications including preparation of Bordeaux mixture, a fungicide preparation. Electroplating, timber preservation and textile industry use copper (II) sulfate.

Product Application Of Copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate CAS#7758-99-8
Copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate has been used:
as an additive in trace element solution preparation in solid glucose minimal media.
as a component of adamsII solution in Pneumococcal media.
in the preparation of alginate gel for drug encapsulation.
Copper(II) sulfate is an inorganic Lewis acid commonly used to promote acid catalyzed organic reactions. It is used as a reagent for the synthesis of copper carbenoids. It can also act as an effective redox catalyst in combination with other mixed oxidizing systems.
Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate Fine Crystals serve as the main ingredient for manufacturing Bordeaux and Burgundy mixtures that are used as algaecides, both on the farm and to ensure safe water supplies. Bordeaux mixtures are also employed to adjust and maintain copper deficient soils to optimum levels.
