CHEMICAL PROPERTIES:

Copper Sulphate Monohydrate decomposes before melting. 
Copper Sulphate Monohydrate loses two water molecules upon heating at 63 °C (145 °F), followed by two more at 109 °C (228 °F) and the final water molecule at 200 °C (392 °F). 
Dehydration proceeds by decomposition of the tetraaquacopper(2+) moiety, two opposing aqua groups are lost to give a diaquacopper(2+) moiety. 
The second dehydration step occurs when the final two aqua groups are lost.
