The water soluble copper sulfate produces Cu(II) ions in solution. The soluble ammonium hydroxide produces ammonium ions and hydroxide ions in solution in equilibrium with ammonia and water. NH4OH(aq) ↔ NH3(aq) + H2O(l) The ammonia molecules react with the cooper ion to produce a complex ion of Cu(II) coordinated with four ammonia molecules. Cu2+(aq) + 4 NH3(aq) → [Cu(NH3)4]2+(aq) That complex ion in turn associates with a water molecule and the sulfate ion resulting in the products of the overall reaction. CuSO4(aq) + 4 NH4OH(aq) → Cu(NH3)4SO4H2O(s) + 3 H2O(l)

FranWhen EDTA is added to a solution of ammonia and copper sulfate, it forms a complex with the copper ions, displacing ammonia from the solution. This results in the formation of a stable, water-soluble complex known as a copper-EDTA complex. The copper ions are effectively chelated by EDTA, which prevents them from reacting further.

Why does the color of copper sulphate change when an iron nail dipped in it?
When an iron nail is placed in a copper sulphate solution, iron displaces copper from copper sulphate solution forming iron sulphate, which is green in colour.Therefore, the blue colour of copper sulphate solution fades and green colour appears.
The blue colour of the solution fades during the electrolysis of copper sulfate. Explain why.?

Aqueous solution of copper sulphate is a homogeneous mixture?
Yes, an aqueous solution of copper sulfate is a homogeneous mixture because it consists of a single phase where the copper sulfate is uniformly dissolved in water, resulting in a uniform composition throughout the solution.
We are using 5 percent solution of copper sulphate processing 140 ton per hour and consume 885 gm of copper sulphate per 1 ton of ore. what would be the usage of copper sulphate in liters per hour?
To calculate the usage of copper sulphate in liters per hour, we first need to determine the total amount of copper sulphate consumed per hour. 140 tons of ore per hour x 885 gm of copper sulphate per ton = 123,900 gm of copper sulphate per hour Next, convert grams to liters: 1 liter of 5% copper sulphate solution weighs approximately 1 kg or 1000 grams. Therefore, 123,900 gm = 123.9 liters per hour of the 5% copper sulphate solution.
What do you get when you evaporate a copper sulphate solution?
When you evaporate a copper sulphate solution, the water content evaporates and leaves behind copper sulphate crystals.
