Hydrated Copper Sulfate
Hydrated Copper Sulfate (Product Code: SCI-406/170) is an analytical reagent grade copper(II) sulfate containing water of crystallisation, used for dehydration, displacement, crystal-growing and electroplating experiments in school and college chemistry laboratories. It comes in a 200 g pack with its MSDS for the copper sulphate crystal practicals that school syllabuses include. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is Hydrated Copper Sulfate Used For?
Heating a few crystals in a dry boiling tube drives off the water of crystallisation: the blue solid turns white, droplets condense near the mouth of the tube, and adding water back restores the blue colour with noticeable warming. The same reversible change is why white anhydrous copper sulfate serves as a simple chemical test for water.
Dissolved in water, it gives the blue solution for the displacement activity in which an iron nail becomes coated with reddish-brown copper while the solution fades to pale green, showing that iron is more reactive than copper. Teachers also grow large blue crystals from a saturated solution and use it as the electrolyte for copper electroplating. It is harmful if swallowed and toxic to aquatic life, so collect waste solutions instead of pouring them down the sink.
Supplier
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, sources Hydrated Copper Sulfate as an analytical reagent and supplies it in 200 g packs with the MSDS. Schools and colleges that buy chemistry lab equipment in India from ScienceLab can add the reagent to the same order as burners, electrodes and glassware, and dealers and importers in international markets can request it the same way. The ScienceLab profile has more about the company.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens when Hydrated Copper Sulfate is heated?
When Hydrated Copper Sulfate is heated gently, it loses its water of crystallisation and changes from blue to white anhydrous copper sulfate. Adding water turns it blue again and releases heat; heat only small amounts in a dry tube pointed away from people.
How is hydrated copper sulfate different from the anhydrous form?
Hydrated Copper Sulfate contains water of crystallisation and is blue, while anhydrous copper sulfate is a white powder with that water removed. Hydrated Copper Sulfate SCI-406/170 is the hydrated form, supplied as an analytical reagent in a 200 g pack with its MSDS.
Can Hydrated Copper Sulfate be used to grow crystals?
Yes. Hydrated Copper Sulfate is widely used for crystal growing: dissolve it in warm water until no more dissolves, filter, then let the solution cool and evaporate slowly with a seed crystal hung on a thread. Keep the setup covered and away from younger children.
How should Hydrated Copper Sulfate be stored?
Store Hydrated Copper Sulfate SCI-406/170 in a closed container in a cool place, away from food and from strong heat that would drive off its water. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Can Hydrated Copper Sulfate be ordered in quantity or exported?
Yes. Hydrated Copper Sulfate SCI-406/170 can be quoted in several 200 g packs for school stores, colleges and dealers, and for buyers in international markets. A larger-pack listing is also in the catalogue if your laboratory uses more of the reagent.
Who supplies Hydrated Copper Sulfate SCI-406/170?
Hydrated Copper Sulfate SCI-406/170 is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, which sources the reagent and sends it with its MSDS to schools, colleges, laboratories and dealers in India and abroad.
