The proper formula for Copper Sulfate is CuSO4(H2O)x. Take note that the x here can range from 0 to 5. The thing about this type of compound is it is also known for its other older names. Some examples of its older names are bluestone, Roman vitriol, and blue vitriol. This is an ingredient that can be found in molluscicides.

This is commonly used in order to kill different slugs and snails. This can also be added to certain types of fungicide which means that it will be able to kill some type of fungi. Take note that some fungi have already elevated which means that this will not have any effect on them anymore. This type of compound is also soluble in water.
