    This document describes tests to identify an unknown blue salt. The salt was found to be soluble in water, turn white when heated, and produce a bluish-green flame, indicating the presence of copper. Further tests showed the salt contained sulphate as the acid radical and copper as the basic radical. The salt was identified as copper sulphate.
