Answer:

•The word “anhydrous” means without water. An anhydrous salt is only the cation and anion making up the salt. There is no water of hydration. Many salts naturally draw water from the environment and occur in nature as hydrated salt. Barium chloride in nature is actually barium chloride dihydrate. This means for each formula unit of barium chloride there are two water molecules. Copper II sulfate in nature is copper II sulfate pentahydrate. For every every formula unit of copper II sulfate there are five water molecules. Common Epsom salts is actually magnesium sulfate heptahydrate. When you purchase epsom salts you are actually getting more water mass than salt mass in the package. 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.
