Anhydrous




An example of anhydration can be seen in copper (II) sulfate. If the Water Of Crystallization
is removed from blue crystals of copper (II) sulfate, a white powder (anhydrous copper sulfate) is formed.

The original formula for crystalline copper (II) sulfate is CuSO(4) ˑ 5 H(2)O.
The formula for anhydration is as follows:

heat + CuSO(4) ˑ 5 H(2)O → CuSO(4) + 5 H(2)O

Another example is in the heating of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, MgSO(4)•(7)H2O. On heating, it undergoes the following reaction: MgSO(4)• 7H(2)O + heat -> MgSO(4) + 7H(2)O

anhydrous copper sulphate + water → copper sulphate
