Question

How can a hydrated salt be converted into anhydrous salt? Give an example.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Often, a hydrated salt can beconverted into an anhydrous salt (one without water) by strong heating to drive off the water molecules. The mass of the hydrate will differ from the mass of the anhydrous salt by the mass of water that was removed during heating.

Answer 2

By heating the hydrated salt the water present in it will be lost by evaporation and it will be converted to anhydrous salt.
