    Other useful tests include associated minerals, crystal habit, solubility and subsequent coloring of the water blue. Chalcanthite can also dye materials blue when dissolved in water, and has a peculiarly sweet and metallic taste, although consuming it can induce dangerous copper poisoning. Crystal structure of chalcanthite

  3. Copper(II) sulfate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper(II)_sulfate

    Copper(II) sulfate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Cu SO 4.It forms hydrates CuSO 4 ·nH 2 O, where n can range from 1 to 7. The pentahydrate (n = 5), a bright blue crystal, is the most commonly encountered hydrate of copper(II) sulfate, [10] while its anhydrous form is white. [11]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_garden

    If one uses a metal salt that produces a very dense fluid inside the membrane, the growth is downward. For example, a green solution of trivalent chromium sulfate or chloride refuses to crystallize without slowly changing into the violet form [clarification needed], even if boiled until it concentrates into a tarry mass. That tar, if suspended ...

  5. Vitriol - Wikipedia

    A Many websites state that black vitriol "is a mixture of iron sulfate and iron sulfite", but none give a reference of any sort. The book, Chemistry, Inorganic & Organic, with Experiments, by Bloxam [4] is a published, reliable reference for the composition of black vitriol, and it states on page 513, "The formula of black vitriol may be written [CuMgFeMnCoNi]SO 4 ·7H 2 O, the six isomorphous ...

    Copper is a chemical element with the symbol Cu (from Latin: cuprum) and the atomic number of 29. It is easily recognisable, due to its distinct red-orange color.Copper also has a range of different organic and inorganic salts, having varying oxidation states ranging from (0,I) to (III).

  7. Brochantite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brochantite

    Brochantite is a sulfate mineral, one of a number of cupric sulfates.Its chemical formula is Cu 4 SO 4 (OH) 6. [2] [3] [4] Formed in arid climates or in rapidly oxidizing copper sulfide deposits, it was named by Armand Lévy for his fellow Frenchman, geologist and mineralogist A. J. M. Brochant de Villiers.

    Black for copper. Solution of sodium polysulfide 2.5%, items must be submerged in the solution after color developing, wash, dry and wax or varnish colored object. [28] Brown for copper. Items are boiled in at least 3-day-old water solution of 12% copper sulfate, after color being developed, the material is washed, dried and waxed or varnished ...

  9. Benedict's reagent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benedict's_reagent

    Benedict's reagent (often called Benedict's qualitative solution or Benedict's solution) is a chemical reagent and complex mixture of sodium carbonate, sodium citrate, and copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate. [1] It is often used in place of Fehling's solution to detect the presence of reducing sugars and other reducing substances. [2]
