A hydrate is made up of a solid compound, typically a salt, and water molecules that are chemically bound to it in a specific ratio. The water molecules are incorporated into the crystal structure of the solid, giving the hydrate its characteristic properties. When heated or dissolved, hydrates can lose their water content, resulting in an anhydrous form of the compound.
