describe an experiment to prepare a pure, dry sample of a soluble salt,

starting from an insoluble reactant ( prepare a sample of pure, dry hydrated copper (II) sulfate crystals starting from copper (II) oxide )

- add excess insoluble base to the acid

- filter to remove unreacted base

- heat the solution so that water evaporates and crystals of the salt remain

copper oxide (base) is insoluble
