What is Zinc sulfate and explain in detail?
Zinc sulfate is an inorganic compound. It is used as a dietary supplement to treat zinc deficiency and to prevent the condition in those at high risk. Side effects of excess supplementation may include abdominal pain, vomiting, headache, and tiredness.The most common form includes water of crystallization as the heptahydrate, with the formula ZnSO4·7H2O. It was historically known as "white vitriol". Zinc sulfate and its hydrates are colourless solids.

Uses
Medicine
In medicine it is used together with oral rehydration therapy (ORT) and an astringent.

Manufacturing
The hydrates, especially the heptahydrate, are the primary forms used commercially.  The main application is as a coagulant in the production of rayon.  It is also a precursor to the pigment lithopone.
It is also used as an electrolyte for zinc electroplating, as a mordant in dyeing, and as a preservative for skins and leather.

Other
Zinc sulfate is used to supply zinc in animal feeds, fertilizers, toothpaste, and agricultural sprays.  Zinc sulfate, like many zinc compounds, can be used to control moss growth on roofs.Zinc sulfate can be used to supplement zinc in the brewing process. Zinc is a necessary nutrient for optimal yeast health and performance, although it is not a necessary supplement for low-gravity beers, as the grains commonly used in brewing already provide adequate zinc. It is a more common practice when pushing yeast to their limit by increasing alcohol content beyond their comfort zone
