NASA Ames Research Center. Using data collected by NASA's SOFIA Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy and other observatories, an international team of researchers has studied how a particular type of organic molecules, the raw materials for life â could develop in space.
Copper(II) sulfate. Copper(II) sulfate, also known as cupric sulfate, copper sulfate, blue vitriol, or bluestone, is a chemical compound. Its chemical formula is CuSO4. It contains copper in its +2 oxidation state. It also contains sulfate ions. It is a blue solid that can kill fungi.
Copper sulfate is classified as a general use material by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The warning signal DANGER must appear on the labels of all copper sulfate end-products containing 99% active ingredient in crystalline form.Copper sulfate is a fungicide used to control bacterial and fungal diseases of fruit, vegetable, nut and field crops.Some of the diseases that are controlled by this fungicide include mildew, leaf spots, blights and apple scab.asic copper sulfate: BSC Copper Fungicide; CP Basic Sulfate; Tri-Basic Copper Sulfate. Pentahydrate form: bluestone, blue vitriol, Salzburg vitriol, Roman vitriol, and blue copperas (17). Bordeaux Mixture is a combination of hydrated lime and copper sulfate (21).
