Copper (II) sulphate by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. Also known as cupric sulphate, this compound is a salt of copper and sulphate. The reagent is available as a grayish-white powder which is soluble in water. It has a melting point below 560 C. Copper sulphate can be industrially produced by treating copper metal with hot concentrated sulphuric acid or its oxides with dilute sulphuric acid. While it is stable under general conditions, this reagent is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. CAS No.: 7758-98-7 Quantity Provided: 500 gm per bottle Molecular formula: CuSO4 Molecular weight: 159.61 Assay: Minimum 99 % Analytical grade reagentCopper (II) sulphate has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors.
