A compound with one or more chemically combined water molecule
Example: Copper sulphate pentahydrate (CuSO4.5H2O)
Anhydrous salt:
A compound in which all water molecules are removed is called Anhydrous salt.
Example: Heating of Copper sulphate pentahydrate (CuSO4.5H2O) produce anhydrous copper sulphate(CuSO4­)

Merlin123: So the copper sulphate which which present in blue colour is hydrated or anhydrous??
superiortanu12378: if you are simply asking about copper sulphate then it is anhydrous
aryanstark17: andydrus sorry for late answer......

Anhydrous copper sulphate contains water of crystallization and it's formula is cuso4.5h2o

When we heat it , then it loses water of crystallization and becomes white.

Whereas copper sulphate does not contain water of crystallization and it's formula is cuso4.

When we heat it then it is distributed into ions : Cu2+ and So4 (2-)
