Effect of heat on copper sulphate pentahydrate
On heating (2000C) copper sulphate pentahydrate loses it loses water of hydration and turn from blue crystal to white powder
CuSO4.5H2O(s) → CuSO4(s) + 5H2O(l)
On strong heating (6500C) it decomposes to give copper oxide, sulphur dioxide and oxygen
2CuSO4 → 2CuO + 2SO2 + O2
