Interpretation: To determine the better product among the anhydrous and the decahydrate compounds.
Concept Introduction: Anhydrous compounds are those compounds that do not contain any water element in it. These are the crystalline substances in which water has been removed by a process called crystallization. Whereas decahydrate compounds will contain10 molecules of water in it. This water is present in the combined form.
Answer to Problem 82A
Anhydrous compound
Explanation of Solution
Anhydrous compounds will not contain water molecules in them. Hence, they exist as a pure form of a compound. In this case,
Anhydrous forms are the most stable forms of the compounds while the hydrated forms will affect the stability of the compound. In hydrated molecules, water combines in different proportions and these water molecules will surround and interact with the solute molecule or ion. Hence not used in all the reactions as they may affect the stability.
