hydraatiomuodoissa
Hydraatiomuodoissa refers to chemical compounds that have incorporated water molecules into their crystalline structure. These are known as hydrates. The water molecules are not merely absorbed on the surface but are chemically bound within the crystal lattice. The number of water molecules per formula unit of the compound can vary, and this is often indicated by a prefix in the chemical name or a subscript in the chemical formula. For instance, copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate, CuSO4·5H2O, contains five water molecules for every formula unit of copper(II) sulfate.
The presence of water of hydration can significantly affect the physical properties of a compound, such as
Hydrates can lose their water of hydration when heated, a process called dehydration. This can be reversible;
