Preparation of Copper Sulfate: A Chemistry Practical Experiment

This video explains the process for preparing soluble salts through the reaction of dilute acids with soluble metals, metal oxides, metal hydroxides, or metal carbonates. The specific example of preparing copper sulfate from copper oxide and sulfuric acid is used to illustrate the steps involved in the process. The video provides instructions on how to obtain a pure dry sample of copper sulfate crystals after filtering the mixture of copper sulfate solution and excess copper oxide, and heating the solution to saturation. The safety precautions that need to be followed during the experiment, such as wearing safety spectacles and tying back long hair, are also discussed.
