A hydrated salt is a compound that includes some water molecules when it crystallises.
For example: Copper(II)sulfate can take 5 moles of water per mole of the salt on crystallization, Sodium acetate can add 3 and Calcium chloride up to 6.
Normally on heating these hydrated salts can release the water (in steps) until all the water evaporated. The now anhydrous salts (without water) can re-attract water molecules for which they are used as drying agents (commonly used in laboratories are Sodium sulfate, Calcium chloride or Magnesium sulfate to dry organic solvent phases)

∙ 12y agoHydrated salts are salts with water in them. Their general formula is:
XXXX.nH2O , Where XXXX is the formula of the salt.
Example: uranyl nitate hexahydrated - UO2(NO3)2.6H2O

What is haydrated salts?
A hydrated salt contain water of crystallization.
How can you obtain hydrated salt?
go for a wee!:)
Hydrated salt which is light green?
FeSO4 or FeSO4.7H20
How can anhydrous salt changes into their hydrated salt?
On heating, hydrated salts lose their water of crystallization and as a result, the crystals lose their shape and colour and change to a powdery substance.
Is milk an example of a hydrated salt of an alkaline earth metal?
No.
How do you change the amount of water in a hydrated salt?
By heating this hydrate.
How are hydrated salts different from anhydrous salts?
A hydrated salt has a number of waters of hydration combined to each molecule of salt whereas an anhydrous salt is one that has had its waters of hydration removed. An example of a hydrated salt is nickel sulfate hexahydrate, NiSO4·6H2O. The waters of hydration can be removed by a simple heating, resulting in NiSO4(s) + 6H2O(g).
When you add water to salt does it then become hydrated?
As far as I know, obviously not!
Is NaCl a hydrated salt?
Sodium chloride hasn't hydrates but it is hygroscopic.
A hydrated salt is a solid that includes water molecules within its crystal structure A student heated a 9.10-gram sample of a hydrated salt to a constant mass of 5.41 grams What percent by mass of?
40.5%
