Question
When solid copper sulphate is mixed to form a hot saturated solution with water and a small amount of acid, it leads to the formation of crystals of the same compound (copper sulphate). Chemically, what is the purpose of this procedure? 1 pointa. To obtain a non-powdered form of the compoundb. To observe both, solid and liquid forms of the compoundc. Crystal form is easier to store and use than powdered copper sulphated. To get rid of impurities in the copper sulphate and obtain pure compound
Solution
The purpose of this procedure is to get rid of impurities in the copper sulphate and obtain a pure compound. When solid copper sulphate is mixed with water and a small amount of acid to form a hot saturated solution, any impurities present in the solid copper sulphate will not dissolve and can be easily separated. The remaining solution is then allowed to cool and crystallize, resulting in pure copper sulphate crystals. Therefore, the correct answer is d. To get rid of impurities in the copper sulphate and obtain pure compound.
