'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.
An example of a hygroscopic salt would be calcium chloride, a salt that absorbs water from the atmosphere to form a saturated solution
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.
Hydrous refers to a substance that contains water molecules within its molecular structure. This term is often used in mineralogy to describe minerals that have water molecules incorporated into their crystal structure.
Hydrous silicate of alumina refers to a mineral compound composed of water, silicon, aluminum, and oxygen. It often exists in the form of clays such as kaolinite, montmorillonite, and illite, which are commonly found in soil. These minerals have important industrial applications in ceramics, construction, and agriculture.
No, ulexite is not combustible. It is a hydrous sodium calcium borate mineral that is typically used for its optical properties rather than as a fuel source.

A mineral of hydrous sodium carbonate, Na2CO3·10H2O, often found crystallized with other salts.
A hydrous compound does contains water. The prefix "hydro" means water, therefore, a hydrous compound means a water compound.
A hydrous compound contains water molecules in its crystal structure, while an anhydrous compound does not contain any water molecules. Hydrous compounds can lose water when heated, converting into an anhydrous form.
No, it does not have perfect cleavage and it is not hydrous.

containing combined water; hydrated.
An allophane is an amorphous hydrous aluminium silicate clay mineral.
An afghanite is a hydrous hexagonal feldspathoid mineral of the cancrinite group.

Yep.
Hydrous copper sulfate appears blue due to its molecular structure and the way it interacts with light. The presence of water in its structure causes the copper ions to absorb certain wavelengths of light in the visible spectrum, reflecting blue light back to our eyes. This selective absorption and reflection of light give hydrous copper sulfate its characteristic blue color.
