Zinc sulfate heptahydrate is a versatile chemical compound mainly used in agriculture, animal nutrition, zinc supplementation, chemical synthesis, electroplating, textile processing and materials research.
Zinc Sulfate Heptahydrate has historically been called white vitriol. It is the hydrated form of zinc sulfate containing seven water molecules in its crystalline structure. Its chemical formula is ZnSO₄·7H₂O.
 Zinc Sulfate Heptahydrate and Zinc Sulfate Monohydrate are versatile inorganic salts that differ primarily in their water content and physical properties. Monohydrate contains one water molecule, while heptahydrate contains seven and leads to differences in molecular weight and zinc concentration.
