    DesignResearch questionHow does the concentration of copper II sulfate solution affect its transparency?General informationCopper is a transition metal and one of the Unique properties of transition metals is to create different types of colored compounds. . Copper(II) sulfate, also known as cupric sulfate or copper sulfate, is the chemical compound with the chemical formula CuSO4. Exists as gray white in anhydrous form, but the salt most commonly encountered in the laboratory is pentahydrate or (CuSO4ยท5H2O) is bright blue in powder form. In my experiment, I used this bright blue powder by dissolving the powder in water, leading to an exothermic reaction, the exothermic reaction to create an aquo complex [Cu(H2O)6]2. HypothesisIn this experiment, the concentration of the copper II sulfate solution is varied to determine its effect on transparency. These concentrations will be carried out using dilutions of 1 mole of copper II sulfate solution provided. When this happens the transparency can be recorded by the calorimeter which will actually show how the dilution o...
