Today in class, we learned about hydrates, which are chemical compounds that have water in them. If the hydrate loses its water molecules, then it becomes an anhydride. The nomenclature for hydrates is simple, for all you have to do is add a prefix for the number of water molecules to the root "-hydride" to the end of the anhydrous chemical. We also learned about using hydrates to solve equations. The equations took a lot of work, but the work was fairly simple and easy to complete. The process is very tedious, though, so a small mistake could lead to a disaster at the end.

Is that crystal meth Kyle. What did I tell you about drugs. I find it a tid bit confusing, bu I understand it for the most part.
ReplyDeleteI agree that these equations took a whole lot of work. I found them relatively easy to do though. I enjoyed this lesson for some odd reason. Perhaps because I really got the hang of it.
