any easy ways to synthesise copper sulphate

Featured Replies

I ran out of copper sulphate, and want more. ANy easy ways to synthesize it? I think u could burn it with sulfur if im right, but that might leave me with some unusable charcoally black stuff if im correct... or am i?

Copper + Sulphuric Acid.

 

Or let it oxidise with SO2 (as u suggested).

Mind you it is pretty cheap, why not have a look on ebay?

Chances are that if you were to burn copper with sulfur you'd be more likely to wind up with copper sulfide (CuS) than you would copper sulfate (CuSO4).

You could react some copper with H2SO4, but this would take along time, unless you have Cu powder, wool, or possibly foil. I just bough some copper sulfate from ebay. I bought it from a gardeners store on there, but it came as being 99 percent copper sulfate. Pretty good stuff and cheap for amount. Heres the link:
