E. 1 AJI JOSEPH 1 Research Center, Department of Chemistry, Nirmala College, Muvattupuzha, Keral - 686661 (INDIA) <p>Hydration of salt hydrates such as CuSO4.5H2O, BaCl2.2H2O The de, CaSO4.2H2O were studied using microwave oven. It has been found that BaCl2.2H2O and CaSO4.2H2O are completely dehydrated on heating for 45 minutes and 105 minutes respectively. However, CuSO4.5H2O is partially dehydrated to CuSO4. H2O for 30 minutes.<br /> &nbsp;</p> https://journalofchemistry.org/paper/851/ Microwave oven Salt hydrate dehydration.
