Cupric Sulphate Pentahydrate Extra Pure is a vibrant blue crystalline compound widely used in laboratories for its high solubility and consistent copper ion content. It is essential in analytical chemistry for Fehling’s and Benedict’s solutions, in electrochemistry for plating and battery experiments, and as a biological nutrient in microbiological media. The pentahydrate form offers ease of handling and precise formulation in aqueous solutions. This extra pure grade ensures exceptional purity, making it suitable for teaching labs, research applications, and controlled experimental procedures. Store in a sealed container away from heat and moisture to maintain its crystalline integrity.

Cupric Sulphate Pentahydrate Extra Pure

Primary Uses

Classic Analytical Reagent
- Widely used in qualitative tests (e.g., Benedict’s, Fehling’s, and Biuret tests) due to the distinct blue Cu²⁺ ion.
Hydrated Mass Standard
- Preferred in labs where consistent hydration ensures reliable molar calculations (known 5H₂O content makes it predictable by weight).
Educational Demonstrations
- Used to show crystal growth, hydration-dehydration cycles, and color transitions in copper chemistry.
Copper Source in Electrochemistry
- Acts as a source of Cu²⁺ ions in electroplating, electrolysis, and galvanic cell experiments.

Secondary Uses

Colorimetric Reactions
- Its vivid blue color is valuable in visual titrations, color tests, and indicator-style reactions involving copper.
Thermal Studies
- Dehydration upon heating is used to demonstrate endothermic reactions and study hydrate loss curves.
Fertilizer & Biocide (non-lab)
- Though not for lab use, it has external roles in fungicides, algicides, and micronutrient fertilizers—included here for general knowledge.
