Water of Hydration

Description:

Water of hydration refers to the water molecules that are chemically bound within a compound or crystal structure. These water molecules can be released through heating or other chemical processes, causing the compound to lose its water content. Understanding water of hydration is particularly important in fields such as chemistry, mineralogy, and materials science.

Examples:

Noun - Scientific Sense:

When a form of copper sulfate, known as blue vitriol (CuSO4 · 5H2O), is heated, its water of hydration is released, resulting in the transformation of the blue solid into an anhydrous white powder.

Noun - Local Sense:

In the desert, finding sources of water can be a challenge. Locals have learned to identify certain cacti that almost act as natural sponges, densely packed with water of hydration, which can be extracted for survival.
