Cupric sulfate:

What: Cupric sulfate is a salt formed cupric oxide with sulfuric acid. It forms as large, bright blue crystals containing five molecules of water.

When: Cupric sulfate was created in 9000 B.C. in Egypt

Why: The only WHMIS symbol that was found on the label was flammable and combustable materials

How: To make cupric sulfate you would need 10 mL of 30% hydrogen peroxide, and 3 mL of concentrated (98%) sulfuric acid along with a piece of copper. Mix the hydrogen peroxide and concentrated sulfuric acid in a beaker and put in the piece of copper. Once you have done that you can sit back and watch the reaction that is being made. Once that is done they put it in a container with a label and sell it.

How much: Average $15-18 per 1/2 a pound.

Who: The product found at Rside was manufactured by Northwest Scientific Supply LTD.
