What are water-soluble compounds?

Answer 1

Anhydrous means "without water." Exactly what you mean by anhydrous compounds is not perfectly clear, because it might mean one of several things:

Anhydrous ether means ether which has been chemically dried so that it contains absolutely no water. This is done with other solvents as well, because certain chemical reactions can be messed up by even a trace of water.

There are also acid anhydrides, which are in a sense dehydrated acid; two carboxylic acid functional groups can react with each other in such a way as to eliminate a water molecule.

Finally, many inorganic salts crystallize along with water, and if this is driven off then the result is usually called anhydrous (whatever) to distinguish it from the usual form.

Answer 2

Water-soluble compounds are also known as hydrophilic compounds. These compounds have an affinity for water and are dissolved easily in it. Common examples are Ammonia, Sodium Chloride, Hydrogen Chloride.

Most polar compounds like HCl are hydrophilic as they split into ions as they are mixed with water.

Answer 3

Water-soluble compounds are substances that can dissolve in water. These compounds form homogeneous solutions with water because they interact with water molecules through hydrogen bonding or other polar interactions. Examples include sugar, salt, and vitamin C.

Answer 4

Hydrated compounds are a compound that contains a specific amount of water molecules. These water molecules are held together by hydrogen bonds.

Answer 5

They form to make the compounds stable. Every compound wants to be stable, and use hydrates as a stablilizer

Answer 6

No. Most compounds are not hydrates.
