Copper(I) sulfate, also known as cuprous sulfate, is a chemical compound with the formula Cu2SO4. Unlike the more common Copper(II) sulfate (CuSO4), it is less frequently encountered and less soluble in water. This compound typically forms as a white or off-white powder and is often used in redox reactions in chemistry, where it can serve as a reducing agent. It may also be used in the preparation of other copper compounds. Due to its less stable nature compared to Copper(II) sulfate, it tends to decompose, especially in moist conditions.
