    Copper(II) sulfate can be prepared from sulfuric acid and copper(II) oxide by adding excess copper(II) oxide to sulfuric acid, which will replace hydrogen ions and dissolve in solution. The mixture is then filtered to remove undissolved copper(II) oxide, and the filtrate is evaporated and cooled to form crystals of copper(II) sulfate, which are dried between filter paper.

    Let’s consider how we can 

    prepare copper(II) sulfate, CuSO4, from


    sulfuric acid, H2SO4. The excess solid to use is insoluble copper(II) oxide,
    CuO. The copper(II) ions from copper(II) oxide will replace the hydrogen
    ions in sulfuric acid. The steps are as follows:
    1. Addition of excess solid to acid: H2SO4(aq) + CuO(s) ⟶ CuSO4(aq)
    + H2O(l)
    2. Filtration: discard the residue containing excess copper(II) oxide
    and keep the filtrate containing the dissolved copper(II) sulfate salt
    3. Evaporation and crystallisation: evaporate water to form hot
    saturated copper(II) sulfate solution, which is then allowed to cool
    to form crystals
    4. Drying: press the crystals between sheets of filter paper
    Slower and more careful technique is Crystallization
