Copper sulfate crystals and their structure

Abstract

CuSO₄ + 5H₂₀ crystals have been studied by several authors. The most complete study of crystals of this compound was carried out relatively recently by Th. V. Barker in the laboratory of R. Groth. Copper sulfate crystals, as is known, belong to the cynacoidal class of the triclinic system. CuS0₄ + 5H₂₀ crystallizes (at t° = - + 20°C) from an aqueous solution in very well-formed thick-table crystals. The article includes a diagram for the correct installation of crystals.
