'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.
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.
What raw material is used to make Talc powder?
Several common products that are used in daily life are made from minerals, including ceramic tiles and granite counter tops. Powders, makeup, table salt, antacids, and milk jugs are made from minerals.
Is talc a metal?
Talc is not classified as a metal. It is a very soft hydrous silicate mineral composed of magnesium, silica and water

What are the components of natron salt?
A mineral of hydrous sodium carbonate, Na2CO3·10H2O, often found crystallized with other salts.
Does a hydrous compound contain water?
A hydrous compound does contains water. The prefix "hydro" means water, therefore, a hydrous compound means a water compound.
What does hydrous refer to?
Water.
What is a hydrous compound?
A compound bonded with water.
What is metamorphic crystal growth?
Minerals can form in metamorphic rock from the loss of water during compression. Hydrous minerals are replaced with non-hydrous minerals.
Is flourite a mica mineral?
No, it does not have perfect cleavage and it is not hydrous.
What is hydrous aluminum silicate?
it is the primary clay minerals
