About This Presentation

The equation for copper(II) sulfate dissolving in water is:
CuSO4(s) => Cu2+(aq) + SO42-(aq)
There is no need to add water to the equation. By writing the states (aq = aqueous) of the ions, it
is understood that water has been added.
Thus the species present in solution are:
Cu2+(copper (II) ion)...


Slide Content

The equation for copper(II) sulfate dissolving in water is:
CuSO4(s) => Cu2+(aq) + SO42-(aq)
There is no need to add water to the equation. By writing the states (aq = aqueous) of the ions, it
is understood that water has been added.
Thus the species present in solution are:
Cu2+(copper (II) ion) and SO42- (sulfate ion).
The color of a solution is determined by the characteristic color of the species present in the
solution.
Cu2+ has a characteristic blue color, while SO42- is colorless.
Thus the solution appears blue overall.
