Basic Copper Sulphate(WSDTY) solution and its hydrate CuSO4*5H2O have almost the same deep blue color. It tells us that copper ions in both cases reside in identical or close to identical surroundings. Indeed, in a solution, copper ions are surrounded by six water molecules. Similarly, in a hydrate, copper ions Cu2+ are surrounded by four water molecules (H2O) and two sulfate ions (SO42–). One more water molecule (we are talking about pentahydrate) stays bound to sulfate ions and other water molecules, which resembles its behavior in a saturated (i.e. concentrated to its maximum) copper sulfate solution.
When hydrate is heated, water molecules face a choice. On the one hand, there are wonderful copper ions – quite nice and pleasant neighbors. Moreover, sulfate ions make for a decent company, too. On the other hand, what molecule never dreams of freedom and adventures? Upon temperature rise, things are heating up in hydrate, and the company doesn’t seem as nice as water molecules would have liked. In addition, water molecules gain more and more energy themselves. As a result, at the earliest opportunity, they leave copper sulfate, which indeed already turned into a living hell.
