From my own experience and literature, I know that CuSOX4 is well soluble in water and dissociates into CuX2+ and SOX4X2−. Cu(OH)X2, however, is not: Ksp=2⋅10−19.
Therefore, in pure water which has a pH of 7, c(OHX−)=10−7. This means that a concentration of 2⋅10−19/(10−7)2=2⋅10−5 of CuX2+ would be enough to cause precipitation. How come, when dissolving CuSOX4, the CuX2+ stays in solution, and doesn't precipitate with the OHX− ions of water to form Cu(OH)X2?
