Hydrates (11.5) Hydrate- compound with a specific amount of water molecules bound to it
Hydrates are often used as drying agents or desiccators because they can absorb moisture Silica gel- used in electronic equipment packaging, cat litter
Chemicals that do not contain water in their structures are called anhydrous (without water) Hydrates are easy to spot because their formulas show the water molecules Anhydrous cobalt (ii) chloride Cobalt (II) chloride hexahydrate CoCl2 CoCl2 x 6H2O
To determine hydrate formula Determine moles of water and of anhydrous compound Find x = moles of water moles of anhydrous compound Plug in x Formula for compound X H2O
