Copper sulfate is usually encountered as a blue liquid solution, or in blue crystalline form, and is often used in chemistry classes because it is relatively simple to make, and it can be used to demonstrate many interesting reactions, and grow beautiful blue crystals. Copper sulfate also has many practical uses in agriculture, pool maintenance, and the arts and can be readily purchased at many online retailers for these applications.<ref name="rf1">http://www.copper.org/resources/properties/compounds/table_a.html</ref> You can make copper sulfate at home or in the classroom in a number of ways. Just remember that copper sulfate is a skin irritant that is toxic if ingested. Use caution and appropriate safety gear when handling chemicals, and dispose of them carefully after your experiment. | Copper sulfate is usually encountered as a blue liquid solution, or in blue crystalline form, and is often used in chemistry classes because it is relatively simple to make, and it can be used to demonstrate many interesting reactions, and grow beautiful blue crystals.
