Hydration
The correct term is "hydration." When anhydrous copper sulfate becomes wet or absorbs moisture from the atmosphere, it undergoes hydration, forming hydrated copper sulfate.
The process when anhydrous copper sulfate becomes wet is called hydration. When anhydrous copper sulfate (CuSO4) is exposed to water, it absorbs the water molecules, resulting in the formation of hydrated copper sulfate, also known as copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO4·5H2O).
To obtain this answer, you can simply recall the concept of hydration and the properties of anhydrous copper sulfate. Anhydrous copper sulfate is a white, powdery substance that lacks any water molecules. When it comes into contact with water, it undergoes a chemical reaction by attracting water molecules and forming a solid blue crystal compound called hydrated copper sulfate.
