The product that is left after heating a hydrate is an anhydrous compound. This means that the water molecules in the hydrate have been removed through the process of heating, leaving behind the anhydrous form of the compound.
hydrate
The anhydrous molecule or species. e.g. CuSO4.5H2O (hydrate) + heat ----> CuSO4 (anhydrous) + water vapor
Anhydrous is the term for a hydrate with water heated off. when a hydrated salt is heated, it loses water of crystallization leaving an anhydrous salt.
Anhydrous salt
Hydrated salt-Salt with water of crystallization are called hydrated salt. Those water are bonded with dative bonds though.Anhydrous salt-Salt which have lost their water of crystallization are called anhydrous salt.

hydrateA solid compound that contains water molecules is called a hydrate. The stability of a hydrate depends on the nature, temperature, and relative humidity of the compounds.
When a hydrate is heated, the water, h20 is evaporated, leaving only the anhydrous salt. If you add water to a anhydrous salt, it will transition back into a hydrate.
A anhydrous ionic compound does not contain water. It is the dehydrated form of a hydrate.

Anhydrous salt
Hydrouse is; containing combined water (especially water of crystallization as in a hydrate)
Normally heating a hydrate drives of water (as vapor) thus the mass of the substance being heated will be less at the end of the heating.
