Step-by-Step Solution

Pure copper sulphate is obtained from an impure sample using crystallization by first dissolving the impure sample in a minimum amount of water and filtering out insoluble impurities. The copper sulphate solution is then gently heated to evaporate water until a saturated solution is formed. Upon cooling this hot saturated solution slowly, pure copper sulphate crystals separate out, leaving dissolved soluble impurities behind in the remaining liquid solution.
