Differentiate hydrate and anhydrous salts with examples.

Distinguish Between

Property	Hydrate Salts	Anhydrous Salt
Definition	Salts that contain water molecules as part of their crystal structure.	Salts that do not contain water molecules in their structure.
Water Content	Contain a fixed number of water molecules (water of crystallization).	Do not contain any water molecules.
Appearance	Often appear colored and crystalline.	Usually powdery and may appear white or dull.
Example	Copper sulphate pentahydrate (\[\ce{CuSO4.5H2O}\])	Heating of Copper sulphate pentahydrate (\[\ce{CuSO4.5H2O}\]) produce anhydrous copper sulphate (\[\ce{CuSO4}\])
