* Copper sulfate (CuSO₄) is a solid ionic compound.
* Water (H₂O) is a polar solvent.
* When copper sulfate is added to water, the water molecules surround the copper and sulfate ions, breaking them apart and allowing them to dissolve.
* This process creates a homogeneous mixture, meaning the copper sulfate is evenly distributed throughout the water.
* The resulting mixture is a liquid because the water remains in its liquid state, and the dissolved copper sulfate does not change its physical state.
Therefore, a mixture of copper sulfate and water is a liquid solution.
