  1. hydrate

    A hydrate is a chemical compound that contains water molecules bound to its structure. This water is normally integrated into the crystalline structure of the compound. The general formula for a hydrate is M.xH2O, where ‘M’ represents the molecule and ‘x’ is the number of water molecules associated with each unit of the molecule. The hydrate can lose its water content through the process of dehydration. Noted hydrates include gypsum (calcium sulfate dihydrate) and Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate heptahydrate).
