blue colour salt
Incorrect Answerwhite colour salt
Correct Answergreen colour salt
Incorrect Answerbrown colour salt
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:

- 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.
