Transcript text: Name the compound $\mathrm{CuSO}_{4}$. Copper(I) sulfate Copper(I) sulfite Copper(II) sulfite Copper(II) sulfate Copper(IV) sulfate

Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Chemical Formula Components

The compound given is $\mathrm{CuSO}_{4}$. This consists of copper (Cu), sulfur (S), and oxygen (O).

Step 2: Determine the Oxidation State of Copper

In $\mathrm{CuSO}_{4}$, the sulfate ion ($\mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-}$) has a charge of $-2$. To balance this charge, copper must have a charge of $+2$. Therefore, the oxidation state of copper in this compound is $+2$.

Step 3: Name the Compound

With copper in the $+2$ oxidation state, the compound is named copper(II) sulfate.

Final Answer

$\boxed{\text{Copper(II) sulfate}}$
