Topic Content:
- Hydrated Salts
Hydrated Salts are salts containing water of crystallization. The number of water molecules is indicated by mono, di, tri, tetra, penta etc. according to the number of water of crystallization.
In naming the corresponding anhydrous salt i.e. without molecules of water, the salt is first named, followed by a full stop, and then the number of water molecules of water is written down.
Example:
| IUPAC NAME | HYDRATED SALT |
| Sodium trioxocarbonate (IV) decahydrate | Na2CO3.10H2O |
| Copper(II) tetraoxosulphate (VI) pentahydrate | CuSO4.5H2O |
| Cobalt (II) Chloride hexahydrate | COCl2.6H2O |
