Actually, the NiSO4 doesn't form pentahydrate or trihydrate, or did you mean CuSO4?

For some reason I assumed those photos were of the copper(II) sulfate trihydrate preparation, didn't see that they were of a nickel salt.

Ok , never mind  .These are the crystals of copper(II) sulfate trihydrate and
pentahydrate (from article http://chem.pieceofscience.com/?p=1485):

The photo of copper(II) formate tetrahydrate was added to the article - Copper(II) formate preparation  This one is recrystallized product. I
observed that supersaturated solution is formed using this procedure.

Hi chemists,
it was a busy month for me and my colleague but still - we posted a few new articles and also revised the old ones. We hope that you´ll find them
useful or at least interesting.
Syntheses:
Cobalt metal preparation (2 ways) - Reducing cobalt(II, III) oxide with hydrogen and double replacement reaction are used for cobalt metal
preparation.
Boric acid preparation - The article contains also trimethylborate preparation.
Copper(II) oxalate complex hydrates - A nice demonstration on how can hydrates differ in their crystal forms.
Silver nitrate preparation - A simple procedure starting with a silver ingot and pure nitric acid. Recrystallization recquries a lot of patience.
Minerals:
Halite - pretty basic stuff but did you know that this mineral was the first to be studied for its crystals structure?
Grossular - my own finding  here in Slovakia quarry. The crystal is
well-shaped and is over 4 mm in diameter.

We´re back
Hi everyone!
I just want to inform you that we´ve got back together and after almost two years of inactivity we are going to continue posting and keep the page
alive.
I hope you will like changes that are going to be made and the page content as well!
If you have any ideas of synthesis that might interest you, please write them down and we will try our best!

Trichloroacetic acid, Vogel, page 247.
I found a slightly less terse description in another paper somewhere. Will try to find it again.
The chloral hydrate step needs to be Cold during the chlorination step or there is no solid precipitate.

Sure I will be glad to perform the synthesis. However, at the time, I do not have access to chloralhydrate. Maby if someone is able to provide few
grams I will do it.

I remember reading that it is prepared by chlorinating cold ethanol, which creates a white precipitate, which is then reacted with conc sulphuric
acid.
Can't find the paper/book at the mo. Will keep looking.
Edit:
Found it in Cohen "Practical Organic Chemistry" (in the library) page 99.
TCA is immediately after it.

I would rather not work with elemental chlorine. Did it twice, did not go well.. .)

Really ?
I'm nowhere near as accomplished as your distinguished selves, yet i found Cl2 quite easy to work with.
Oh well, guess i'll have to keep trichloroacetic acid on my "TODO" list.

Cobalt sulfate
I've experimented a little with CoSO4. These are crystal of Cobalt(II) sulfate hexahydrate crystallized from dilute sulfuric acid. They are really
similiar to those of β-polymorph of NiSO4*6H2O, which makes me wondering if there aren't two polymorphs of CoSO4*6H2O too. (There is very little
information I was able to find about CoSO4 hydrates properties). I'll try different concentrations of H2SO4 to find out if different crystals will
grow.
Here's an article I wrote so far If you're interested:
