Question

How can a hydrated salt be converted into anhydrous salt?

Open in App
Solution

Hydrated salts are the salt crystals which contain water molecules in them. These water molecules which give the crystal its shape is called water of crystallization. However, on heating, the hydrated salts lose their water of crystallization, shape and colour and get converted into a powdery substance called anhydrous salts.
