What is Copper (II) Sulphate Anhydrous? It is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula CuSO₄. It forms hydrates CuSO4·nH₂O, 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, while its anhydrous form is white.

Frequent Uses

Analytical Chemistry
Several chemical tests utilise copper sulphate. It is used in Fehling's solution and Benedict's solution to test for reducing sugars, which reduce the soluble blue copper(II) sulphate to insoluble red copper(I) oxide. Copper(II) sulphate is also used in the Biuret reagent to test for proteins.

Qualitative Testing
Can be used to test blood for anemia. The blood is dropped into a solution of copper sulphate of known specific gravity - blood with sufficient haemoglobin sinks rapidly due to its density, whereas blood which sinks slowly or not at all has an insufficient amount of haemoglobin. Clinically relevant, however, modern laboratories utilise automated blood analysers for accurate quantitative haemoglobin determinations, as opposed to older qualitative means.

Organic Synthesis
Employed at a limited level in organic synthesis. The anhydrous salt is used as a dehydrating agent for forming and manipulating acetal groups. The hydrated salt can be intimately mingled with potassium permanganate to give an oxidant for the conversion of primary alcohols.
