Is Heating a hydrous salt to obtain an anhydrous salt a chemical or physical change?

if you mean epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) then heating it will result in a decomposition reaction, where magnesium oxide (s) and sulfur trioxide (g) is formed. The decomposition reaction is therefore a chemical change.

Is H2O an anhydrous compound?
The term anhydrous means, does not contain water. H2O is the chemical formula for water. Hence, it is the opposite of anhydrous. It is the most hydrous of all substances.
What is devolatilization reactions?
This is a reaction of an equation of the form: hydrous material A = Anhydrous material B + water (H2O) Pretty much its when you have a certain material, such as in a metamorphic process, where the volatile material is separated from the rest of the material
What is an hydrous salt?
'Salt' is a non-specific term in chemistry that refers to the solid crystallized state of matter that is formed when an ionically bonded compound solidifies. Anhydrous means when the salt is crystallizing, no water is captured within the crystal matrix.
What is an example of a hydrous salt?
An example of a hygroscopic salt would be calcium chloride, a salt that absorbs water from the atmosphere to form a saturated solution
What does hydrous refer to?
Water.

What are a few examples of anhydrous crystals?
Anhydrous copper sulphate is a paler blue compared to hydrous copper sulphate. See the related link for further information.
What is the reaction CuSO4 5H2o plus heat?
CuSO4 * 5H2O ----> CuSO4 + 5H2O. This is true because CuSO4 * 5 H2O is a salt weakly bounded to water, that is why it is hydrous. When it decomposes, the weak bonds are broken making the products above. CuSO4*5H2O formula is [Cu(OH2)4]SO4*H2O CuSO4 + 5H2O --> [Cu(OH2)4]SO4*H2O
What is fermiculite?
Fermiculite is a silicate mineral which is hydrous and high expands during heating.
What is the formula of copper (II) sulfate?
The formula unit for copper II sulfate is CuSO4.
What is another word for containing water chemically?
If you mean a compound containing water, the term would be hydrous or hydride, the same material without water would be "anhydrous" or "anhydride" Hope that helps
What is devolatilization reactions?
This is a reaction of an equation of the form: hydrous material A = Anhydrous material B + water (H2O) Pretty much its when you have a certain material, such as in a metamorphic process, where the volatile material is separated from the rest of the material

What is the chemical name of talcum powder?
The chemical name of talcum powder is Hydrous Magnesium Silicate. It is one of the extensively used substances. It is also known as the softest mineral.
What is the chemical name for baby powder?
It is made of a hydrous silicate material called talc, which has a chemical formula of Mg3Si4O10(OH)2. It is called talcum powder. (those are the only possible chemical names)
