Answer: Copper sulfate is also called blue vitriol, Roman vitriol, Salzburg vitriol, blue copperas or bluestone, which is an inorganic or chemical compound comprised of Copper, Sulphur and Oxygen. It is an odorless crystalline substance, electric blue and highly toxic, which is produced in industries by treating the copper metal with hot concentrated sulfuric acid or treating its oxides with dilute sulfuric acid. It can be produced by slowly leaching low-grade copper ore in air and bacteria may be used to hasten the process.
