Answer 1

Answer:

Hydrated salt

• It is also known as hydrates.
• Salt containing water of crystallisation.
• Having high discharging effect (self discharging).
• Do not used as drying agent (because it do not absorb water).

Anhydrous salt

• It is also known as anhydrates.
• Salt having no water of crystallisation in molecule.
• Having low discharging effect (swlf discharging).
• It is used as drying agent (because it absorbs water).

Valid answerer

Hydrous compounds are chemical compounds that are composed of water molecules in their structure as a constituent. Anhydrous compounds are chemical compounds that have no water molecules in the chemical structure. This is the main difference between hydrous and anhydrous compounds.

All of these hydrated salts can have the water removed by heating and the physical appearance of the dehydrate or anhydrous form of the salt can be quite different from that of the hydrated salt.
