Copper sulfate, also known as cupric sulfate or blue vitriol, is a chemical compound with the formula CuSO4. Here is a description of copper sulfate:

Copper sulfate is a blue crystalline solid that appears as fine crystals or powder. It has a molecular weight of 159.61 grams per mole. This compound is soluble in water, with a solubility of approximately 31.6 grams per 100 milliliters of water at 20C. 

In its solid form, copper sulfate has a density of about 3.6 grams per cubic centimeter. It has a melting point of around 110C (230F), but it decomposes upon heating, releasing sulfur dioxide and leaving behind copper oxide.

Copper sulfate is widely used in various applications. In agriculture, it is used as a fungicide and herbicide to control fungal diseases and unwanted plant growth. In industry, copper sulfate is utilized in electroplating processes to coat metals with a layer of copper. It is also used as a pigment in paints and dyes, especially for creating blue colors. Additionally, copper sulfate is sometimes used as a supplement in animal feed to provide copper, an essential nutrient for animals.
