My Alchemy Class

So I've been studying with the Mages Guild for two years now. My alchemy classes are my favorite part so far. Just last week we got to experiment with frost salts!

[spoiler] It's actually CuSO4 I Can't remember if it's with or without the water molecules[/spoiler]

Yep, its CuSO4 5H2O, but shhhhhhhhhhh, as far as anyone here is concerned they're frost salts.

Delicious hydrated copper sulphate! =D

What can you do with this sulphate?

If you place about 130 grams of this stuff on a specific altar, you can summon a Hydrated Copper Sulphite Atronach Familiar.

Or just heat it until all of the water is out and use that white dust for detecting water/moist.

Make a Moist Atronach out of it.

This is really weird. I've never heard of this CuSO4 X 5H20 before, and then we had a lab with it in my chem class this week, and then another picture of it here. Small world...

Lol.

What about if I just sniff it?

Let me know when you've got hold of some moon sugar

Tyrion · Post by **Tyrion** » Sat Nov 21, 2009 8:58 pm

Unfortunately, no moon sugar yet. Sorry guys.

I used this stuff 2 1/2 years ago when I was in quantitative analysis. We were doing flame AA and had to choose a metal to analyze. I chose copper, and selected copper sulfate pentahydrate as my salt. For that lab, I had to make a set of standards, prepare a calibration curve, and determine the concentration of an unknown sample. The flame AA lab was so much easier than the graphite furnace lab I did last year in instrumental analysis I. No messing with standard addition, or anything like that

. Graphite furnace does give a much lower detection limit, however... and being able to do standard addition when the sample matrix is particularly messy is a plus, too

.

As I recall, it smells awful and it'd poisonous (if eaten). We use it as a insecticide (or fungicide?).
