Blue copper sulphate crystals become white on heating and turn blue again on adding water. What does this prove?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Presence of water of crystallisation

The governing concept is water of crystallisation in hydrated salts. Blue copper sulphate is CuSO₄·5H₂O. On heating, it loses its fixed water molecules and becomes white anhydrous CuSO₄. Adding water restores the hydrated form and its blue colour. Therefore option A is correct; the other options do not explain the reversible colour change or involve conversion of copper, sulphate, or acidity.
