** Chemical Formula For Copper Sulfate: ** CuSO4

**__Info On Copper Sulfate__** The common name for copper sulfate is cupric sulfate or copper sulfate. The liquid form of copper sulfate is called bluestone, blue vitriol, Salzburg vitriol, Roman vitriol, and blue copperas. There is one main use for copper sulfate, to control bacterial and fungal diseases in fruit. The EPA says that copper sulfate needs to have "DANGER" on all products of copper sulfate because copper sulfate is very poisionous. Copper Sulfate occurs when copper and organic salt are mixed together. Copper Sulfate also has a melting point of 110 C.

Copper Sulfate is broken down in many different ways. Copper Sulfate can be broken down by soil and groundwater. The way that happens is copper sulfate is washed down into the soil and turns into groundwater. Then a chemical reaction occurs and makes new things. Another way copper sulfate can be broken down is when you mix different chemicals in with copper sulfate and water. Usually because copper sulfate has a high water solubility, copper sulfate shouldn't be in any types of water, for example lakes, streams, and ponds. Copper Sulfate has a very high concentration which makes copper sulfate very toxic.
