hydrate

chemical compound

any compound containing water in the form of H₂O molecules (molecule), usually, but not always, with a definite content of water by weight. The best-known hydrates are crystalline solids that lose their fundamental structures upon removal of the bound water. Exceptions to this are the zeolites (zeolite) (aluminum silicate minerals (silicate mineral) or their synthetic analogues that contain water in indefinite amounts) as well as similar clay minerals (clay mineral), certain clays, and metallic oxides (oxide), which have variable proportions of water in their hydrated forms; zeolites lose and regain water reversibly with little or no change in structure.

Substances that spontaneously absorb water from the air to form hydrates are known as hygroscopic or deliquescent, whereas hydrates that lose so-called water of hydration or water of crystallization to form the unhydrated (anhydrous) substances are known as efflorescent. In many cases, the uptake and loss of water (by heating, decreasing pressure, or other means) are reversible processes, sometimes accompanied by changes in colour. For example, blue vitriol, or copper sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO₄∙5H₂O), is blue, copper sulfate trihydrate (CuSO₄∙3H₂O) is blue, and anhydrous copper sulfate (CuSO₄) is white.

Other examples of hydrates are Glauber's salt (sodium sulfate decahydrate, Na₂SO₄∙10H₂O); washing soda (sodium carbonate decahydrate, Na₂CO₃∙10H₂O); borax (sodium tetraborate decahydrate, Na₂B₄O₇∙10H₂O); the sulfates known as vitriols (vitriol) (e.g., Epsom salt, MgSO₄∙7H₂O); and the double salts known collectively as alums (M⁺₂SO₄∙M⁺³₂(SO₄)₃∙24H₂O, where M⁺ is a monopositive cation, such as K⁺or NH4⁺, and M³⁺ is a tripositive cation, such as Al³⁺ or Cr³⁺).

In many cases, hydrates are coordination compounds (coordination compound). CuSO₄∙5H₂O is actually 【Cu(H₂O) ₄】SO₄∙4H₂O; four molecules of water of hydration are coordinated to the copper ion, whereas the fifth water molecule is linked to the sulfate ion, presumably by hydrogen bonding. Similarly, MgSO₄∙7H₂O is actually 【Mg(H₂O) ₆】SO₄∙4H₂O. X-ray diffraction studies have shown that hydrated beryllium sulfate (BeSO₄∙4H₂O) and hydrated beryllium nitrate (Be(NO₃)₂∙4H₂O) both contain the tetrahedral complex ion 【Be(H₂O) ₄】⁴⁺.

A number of gases—notably the noble gases (noble gas) and simple hydrocarbon gases such as methane, ethane, propane, and acetylene, as well as chlorine and carbon dioxide—form crystalline hydrates called clathrate compounds at relatively low temperatures and pressures. Clathrate crystals have a structure in which the water molecules form a loosely held framework surrounding the gas molecule.
