What colour is copper sulphate?
Copper(II) sulfate such as algae, fish and molluscs. Copper in the soil may come from industry, motor vehicle, and architectural materials. Copper released from the dissolution of copper sulfate exists mainly in the surface soil and tends to bind to organic matter. The more acidic the soil is, the less binding occurs. Copper(II) sulfate Copper(II) sulfate, also known as cupric sulfate, or copper sulphate, is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula CuSO(HO), where x can range from 0 to 5. The pentahydrate (x = 5) is the most common form. Older names for this compound include blue vitriol, bluestone, vitriol of
Copper toxicity free copper levels exist in Alzheimer's disease, which has been hypothesized to be linked to inorganic copper consumption. Copper and zinc are known to bind to amyloid beta proteins in Alzheimer's disease. This bound form is thought to mediate the production of reactive oxygen species in the brain. Too much copper in water may damage marine and freshwater organisms such as fish and molluscs. Fish species vary in their sensitivity to copper, with the LD50 for 96-h exposure to copper sulphate reported to be in the order of 58 mg per litre for Tilapia ("Oreochromis niloticus") and 70 mg per
