A student is given a mixture containing insoluble calcium carbonate (CaCO3\text{CaCO}_3CaCO3​), soluble copper(II) sulfate (CuSO4\text{CuSO}_4CuSO4​), and water (H2O\text{H}_2\text{O}H2​O). They design the multi-step separation scheme shown in the diagram below to isolate pure, dry CaCO3\text{CaCO}_3CaCO3​ solid, pure liquid H2O\text{H}_2\text{O}H2​O, and pure dry CuSO4\text{CuSO}_4CuSO4​ crystals.
