  2. Calcium oxalate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_oxalate

    Many plants accumulate calcium oxalate as it has been reported in more than 1000 different genera of plants. [7] The calcium oxalate accumulation is linked to the detoxification of calcium (Ca 2+) in the plant. [8] Upon decomposition, the calcium oxalate is oxidised by bacteria, fungi, or wildfire to produce the soil nutrient calcium carbonate. [9]

  3. Hydrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrate

    A colorful example is cobalt(II) chloride, which turns from blue to red upon hydration, and can therefore be used as a water indicator.. The notation "hydrated compound⋅n H 2 O", where n is the number of water molecules per formula unit of the salt, is commonly used to show that a salt is hydrated.

  4. Trehalose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trehalose

    Trehalose forms a rhomboid crystal as the dihydrate, and has 90% of the calorific content of sucrose in that form. Anhydrous forms of trehalose readily regain moisture to form the dihydrate . Anhydrous forms of trehalose can show interesting physical properties when heat-treated.

  5. Water of crystallization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_of_crystallization

    A salt with associated water of crystallization is known as a hydrate. The structure of hydrates can be quite elaborate, because of the existence of hydrogen bonds that define polymeric structures. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Historically, the structures of many hydrates were unknown, and the dot in the formula of a hydrate was employed to specify the ...

  6. Oxalic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxalic_acid

    Oxalic acid is an organic acid with the systematic name ethanedioic acid and chemical formula HO−C(=O)−C(=O)−OH, also written as (COOH) 2 or (CO 2 H) 2 or H 2 C 2 O 4.It is the simplest dicarboxylic acid.

  7. Calcium sulfate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_sulfate

    These applications exploit the fact that calcium sulfate which has been powdered and calcined forms a moldable paste upon hydration and hardens as crystalline calcium sulfate dihydrate. It is also convenient that calcium sulfate is poorly soluble in water and does not readily dissolve in contact with water after its solidification.

  8. Iron(III) chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron(III)_chloride

    Four hydrates have been characterized by X-ray crystallography: the dihydrate FeCl 3 ·2H 2 O, the disesquihydrate FeCl 3 ·2.5H 2 O, the trisesquihydrate FeCl 3 ·3.5H 2 O, and finally the hexahydrate FeCl 3 ·6H 2 O.

  9. Potassium ferrocyanide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_ferrocyanide

    Potassium hexacyanidoferrate(II) can be used as a fertilizer for plants. [citation needed] Prior to 1900, before the invention of the Castner process, potassium hexacyanidoferrate(II) was the most important source of alkali metal cyanides. [6] In this historical process, potassium cyanide was produced by decomposing potassium hexacyanidoferrate ...
