A value with no row here was assembled from more than one record, so no single record is credited for it. The draft you buy carries this table as an appendix covering all 16 sections.

Measured values for Copper sulfate, and where each one comes from
10 measured values for 6 properties, read from 2 public databases. On 1 property the records differ. Each reading is shown with its own record. Follow any record to read the value at its source.
Boiling point
1 record
Used with vapour pressure to judge how readily the substance reaches the air you breathe.
- 650 °C (decomp to cupric oxide)
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
Melting point
1 record
Fixes the physical state at handling temperature, which the label and the transport class depend on.
- 590 °C decomp
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
Density
2 records differ
Needed to convert between mass and volume on the label, in transport papers and in a spill estimate.
Solubility
3 records, each a different case
Determines spill behaviour, the right extinguishing media and the correct first-aid rinse.
- In water, 243 g/l @ 0 °C
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- 75.4 g/100 cc water @ 100 °C
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- 1.04 g/100 cc methanol @ 18 °C
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
Odour
1 record
Odour is a warning property only. Many substances are hazardous well below the concentration you can smell.
- Pleasant odor
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
Decomposition temperature
2 records, each a different case
The temperature at which the substance breaks down, often into products more hazardous than itself.
- 650 °C (decomp to cupric oxide)
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- SLIGHT DECOMP ABOVE 200 °C
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
These are the public records read for Copper sulfate, published here unchanged. Where two records disagree, the draft you buy states the value and names the record behind it, so a reviewer can see what was chosen. Every draft needs review by a competent person before it is issued.
