On heating blue vitriol, its blue colour turns white. On adding a few drops of water, the blue colour returns. What is the main reason?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Loss and regain of water of crystallisation

Blue vitriol is hydrated copper(II) sulphate, CuSO₄·5H₂O. Heating removes its water of crystallisation and produces anhydrous copper sulphate, CuSO₄, which is white: CuSO₄·5H₂O → CuSO₄ + 5H₂O. Adding water rehydrates the salt and restores the blue hydrated form. No copper metal or sulphur dioxide is produced, and the observation is not simply complete dissolution. Thus option A explains both colour changes.
