Evaporation of the solution of copper sulfate solution helps in:

Evaporation of the solution of copper sulfate solution helps in:

  • A. making the solution concentrated
  • B. crystallization of copper sulfate
  • C. both A and B
  • D. none of these

Step-by-step solution

Evaporation of water from a copper sulfate solution reduces the solvent volume, thereby increasing the concentration of the solution (making it concentrated). As the solution becomes supersaturated due to evaporation, copper sulfate crystals begin to form (crystallization). Hence, evaporation assists both in concentrating the solution and in crystallizing copper sulfate.
