Preparation of Copper Sulfate: A Chemistry Practical Experiment

The video tutorial explains the preparation of soluble salts by reacting dilute acids with insoluble metals, metal oxides, hydroxides, or carbonates. It uses the example of producing copper sulfate from copper oxide and sulfuric acid. The tutorial details the steps to obtain pure copper sulfate crystals, including heating, adding excess copper oxide, filtering, and crystallization. Safety precautions, such as wearing safety spectacles and tying back long hair, are emphasized throughout the experiment.

Explain the process of separating copper sulfate solution from excess copper oxide.

What safety precautions should be followed during the experiment?
