the metal copper is first converted to blue coloured copper sulphate by the reaction with concentrated sulphuric acid. Cu + H2SO4 --> CuSO4 (aq) (Blue)
the solution on evapourasion gives the Blue crystals of CuSO4*5H2O which on further heating gives anhydrous CuSO4 which is colourless. CuSO4*5H2O Blue --Heating --> CuSO4 white + 5H2O
Other method is the blue coppersulphate solution will react with ammonium thiocyanate (NH4NCS) salt solution to give the white (colourless) precipitate of copper thiocyanate Cu(NCS)2.
The expert did excellent work as usual and was extremely helpful for me.
