Not only NaOH, can be any other compound that do not have any water molecule attached to it such as anhydrous CaCl2, Silica gel, anhydrous NaCl..
The absorption of water by an anhydrous compound is called hydration. This process involves the compound forming a hydrate by combining with water molecules.
When a hydrate compound is heated, it loses water molecules and becomes an anhydrous compound. This process is known as dehydration, and the resulting anhydrous compound typically has a different chemical composition or properties compared to the hydrate form.
When a compound lacks water, it is called anhydrous.
The solid residue that remains when a hydrate is heated is the anhydrous compound, which is the compound without any water molecules. Heating a hydrate removes the water molecules through the process of dehydration, leaving behind the anhydrous form of the 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.
For example uranyl nitrate may exist as an anhydrous compound.
The absorption of water by an anhydrous compound is called hydration. This process involves the compound forming a hydrate by combining with water molecules.
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.

When a hydrate compound is heated, it loses water molecules and becomes an anhydrous compound. This process is known as dehydration, and the resulting anhydrous compound typically has a different chemical composition or properties compared to the hydrate form.
A hydrate is an ionic compound that has water molecules attached to its crystal lattice, while an anhydrous ionic compound does not have water molecules attached. Hydrates can easily lose or gain water molecules depending on the conditions, while anhydrous compounds remain stable without water.
When a compound lacks water, it is called anhydrous.
The solid residue that remains when a hydrate is heated is the anhydrous compound, which is the compound without any water molecules. Heating a hydrate removes the water molecules through the process of dehydration, leaving behind the anhydrous form of the 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.
Anhydrous H2CO3 (carbonic acid) is molecular, not ionic. It does not dissociate into ions in the absence of water.
Sodium chloride is not anhydrous when I swim in the ocean. I want it anhydrous when I sprinkle it on my food.
No, CaSO4 is not an anhydrous compound. Anhydrous compounds do not contain water molecules, while CaSO4 contains water molecules in its chemical structure as hydrates like CaSO4·2H2O (gypsum) or CaSO4·1/2H2O (bassanite).
