Cupric Sulphate Anhydrous Extra Pure is a white to grayish crystalline powder that serves as a highly concentrated form of copper(II) sulphate, ideal for laboratory applications requiring precise copper ion concentrations. It is commonly used in analytical chemistry, electroplating studies, and as a reagent in qualitative tests for reducing sugars and proteins. Its dehydrated form is especially suited for moisture-sensitive reactions or as a drying agent in certain chemical processes. The extra pure grade ensures minimal contamination, making it reliable for high-accuracy research and educational experiments. Store in a cool, dry environment to prevent rehydration and degradation.

Description

Cupric Sulphate Anhydrous Extra Pure

Primary Uses 

  1. Dehydrated Analytical Reagent

    • Used in experiments where water of hydration must be avoided, such as gravimetric analysis and stoichiometric reactions involving dry solids.

  2. Qualitative Tests for Reducing Agents

    • Participates in Benedict’s and Fehling’s tests when hydrated; the anhydrous form is used when precise water control is needed.

  3. Oxidizing Agent

    • Acts as a moderate oxidizer in some organic and inorganic syntheses, especially under dry conditions.

  4. Desiccant for Specific Reactions

    • Used as a drying agent in gas or solvent systems where water must be absorbed or absent.

Secondary Uses

  1. Thermal and Decomposition Studies

    • Employed in labs for thermal decomposition to study CuO formation and analyze endothermic reactions.

  2. Preparation of Solutions with Precise Molarity

    • Ideal for preparing copper(II) sulfate solutions without unknown hydration states, improving analytical accuracy.

  3. Standard in Calorimetry

    • Occasionally used in enthalpy change experiments (e.g., dissolution enthalpy) requiring known anhydrous mass.
