Anhydrous<\/strong> it's a adjective<\/strong> that is used in the field of chemistry<\/strong> to qualify for substance lacking water<\/strong>. The term comes from the Greek word anydros<\/em> which, precisely, translates as \"That has no water\"<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Anhydrous\"In some cases, the anhydrous element never has Water<\/strong> in its structure. However, sometimes a substance has water and then loses it, thereby becoming anhydrous.<\/p>\n

To make a solvent anhydrous, it is usual to make it enter boiling<\/strong> next to a hygroscopic substance<\/strong> (that is, capable of absorbing moisture). Another possibility is to use a molecular sieve<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

When the presence of water affects the development of a desired compound, a chemical reaction<\/strong> to obtain an anhydrous. Within this framework, hygroscopic materials are used that capture moisture.<\/p>\n

The anhydrous ethyl alcohol<\/strong>, for example, it is produced using molecular sieves that promote clean dehydration of the ethanol<\/strong>. It can be used as an industrial solvent, fuel or raw material in the pharmaceutical industry and in perfumery, to name a few possibilities.<\/p>\n

The anhydrous sodium sulfate<\/strong>Meanwhile, it is used in the manufacture of cellulose and as an additive in the manufacture of glass. Due to its anhydrous property, it also serves as a desiccant in different processes that are carried out in laboratories<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The anhydrous copper sulfate<\/strong>, on the other hand, it is a grayish powder. If it is reacted with water, copper sulfate pentahydrate is generated, which is used as an algaecide, fungicide, fertilizer<\/strong> and veterinary medicine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
