Sulfate of cobalt represents crystal substance from pink till red color, salt of bivalent cobalt and sulfuric acid. It is very hygroscopic. Well (but slowly) it is dissolved in water. It is badly dissolved in ethanol, the concentrated sulfuric acid, it is slightly better - in methanol and glycerin. It is restored by sulfur, carbon, metal cobalt.
Waterless sulfate of cobalt (II) exists in two crystal modifications: α-CoSO4 pink color, has a rhombic singoniya of a crystal lattice and β-CoSO4 lilac color, has a monoklinny singoniya of a crystal lattice.
Sulfate of cobalt meets in the nature in the form of minerals of an aplouit, a murkhausit and a biberit.
At sedimentation and at moisture absorption sulfate of cobalt (II) forms a number of crystalline hydrates of solutions:
- heptahydrate of CoSO4 • 7H2O - red crystals with a monoklinny singoniya. Also two metastable modifications of heptahydrate - from a rhombic and monoklinny singoniyama are known.
- hexahydrate of CoSO4 • 6H2O - orange-red crystals with a monoklinny singoniya.
- monohydrate of CoSO4 • H2O - pink crystals with a monoklinny singoniya.
Besides, metastable hydrates with 4 and 2 molecules of water are known.
The most widespread type of sulfate of cobalt is a heptahydrate of sulfate of cobalt.
Density: waterless 3,71 g/cm ³, monohydrate: 3,075 g/cm ³; hexahydrate: 2,029 g/cm ³; heptahydrate - 1,948 g/cm ³. Temperature of decomposition is 600-700 °C.
Chemical formula: CoSO4.
In the electrochemical industry, he is used as a sushitel of lithographic ink, varnishes, paints and linoleum.
Besides, it can be used as the catalyst, an analytical reactant, tire glue, etc.
Cobalt is considered an irreplaceable element for live organisms, including people as it enters a B12 vitamin molecule.

Cobalt sulfate safety requirement.
Sulfate of cobalt is moderate and toxic substance. Can cause violations of digestion, breath, blood system, and also sharp dermatitis. At contact with skin can cause allergic reaction. At hit in an organism can render mutagen effect, influence reproductive function.
The main symptoms of poisoning with sulfate of cobalt include diarrhea, appetite loss, temperature drop of a body and arterial pressure.
Sulfate of cobalt (II) is capable to cause long-term adverse changes in the water environment.
The fire - it is also explosion-proof.
