Copper  II  sulfate  CuSO4  decomposes before reaching its boiling point. It undergoes a series of transformations when heated. At around 110C, it loses water molecules and converts to its pentahydrate form  CuSO45H2O . As the temperature increases, it continues to lose water molecules and eventually turns into an anhydrous form  CuSO4  at around 650C. At temperatures above 650C, CuSO4 starts to decompose into copper  II  oxide  CuO  and sulfur trioxide  SO3 . Therefore, it does not have a specific boiling point at 1 atmosphere.
