Description:
Copper(II) sulphate anhydrous (CuSO₄) is a white to grayish crystalline inorganic compound, widely used in industrial, agricultural, and laboratory applications. Unlike its pentahydrate form, the anhydrous compound lacks water molecules and serves as an effective desiccant, catalyst, and precursor in various chemical processes. It is highly soluble in water and exhibits strong oxidizing properties, making it useful in a wide range of applications.
