Description

Copper sulfate (CuSO4), also known as blue vitriol, is an inorganic compound that exists as a bright blue crystalline solid. It is soluble in water and is a common laboratory chemical. Copper sulfate is used in various applications, including:
- **Agriculture:** Copper sulfate is a fungicide and algicide, used to control fungal diseases in plants and prevent algae growth in water sources.
- **Industry:** Copper sulfate is used in the production of batteries, pigments, and dyes.
- **Medicine:** Copper sulfate is used as an antiseptic and is also used in the treatment of copper deficiency.
- **Research:** Copper sulfate is studied extensively in various fields, including biology, chemistry, and environmental science. It is used as a catalyst, a reagent in chemical synthesis, and a model compound for studying the properties of copper.
- **Synthesis:** Copper sulfate is typically synthesized by reacting copper metal with sulfuric acid. The copper reacts with sulfuric acid to form copper sulfate and hydrogen gas.
- **Effects:** Copper sulfate is toxic to humans and animals. Ingestion or exposure to copper sulfate can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and other adverse effects. Copper sulfate can also be harmful to aquatic life.

Dosage Studied

The aim of this experiment was to determine what dosage of copper (Cu) nanoparticles would improve antioxidant and immune defense in chickens. Male mice given copper sulfate 100 and 150 dosage groups showed significant decreased in sperm motility and sperm number. There was no significant change in testicular coefficient in the four groups.
