Question
Explain how, impure copper sulphate can be purified by crystallization.
✓

Answer

Impure copper sulphate is dissolved in minimum amount of water in a china dish to make copper sulphate solution. It is then filtered to remove insoluble impurities. Now, copper sulphate solution is heated gently on a water bath to evaporate water and a saturated solution is obtained. Then heating is stopped and saturated solution of copper sulphate is allowed to cool slowly. Crystals of pure copper sulphate will be formed leaving behind impurities. These crystals are then separated and dried.
