    blue colour salt

    Incorrect Answer

    white colour salt

    Correct Answer

    green colour salt 

    Incorrect Answer

    brown colour salt

    Incorrect Answer
    Explanation:

    - Copper sulphate pentahydrate is typically a blue crystalline solid due to the water of crystallization.

    - On heating, it loses this water, turning into an anhydrous form.

    - The anhydrous copper sulphate is white since the blue color is due to hydrated copper ions.

    - The transformation from blue to white happens as water is driven off, removing the crystal's color.

    - Correct Answer: white colour salt
