BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Since “hydrate” means to supply water, a hydrated compound is a compound that is supplied with or that contains water. In chemistry, hydrates are compounds containing water (H2O H 2 O ) molecules. A hydrate is often in crystalline form and has a water molecule that is chemically bonded to another element or compound.

Detailed explanation-2: -hydrate, any compound containing water in the form of H2O molecules, usually, but not always, with a definite content of water by weight.

Detailed explanation-3: -In chemistry, a hydrate is a substance that contains water or its constituent elements. The chemical state of the water varies widely between different classes of hydrates, some of which were so labeled before their chemical structure was understood.

Detailed explanation-4: -We indicate a hydrate by appending the dot ( · ) symbol followed by the number of water molecules, like AxBy· nH2O, where n is the number of waters.
