What is the best method for removing water from a hydrated compound?

Explanation:

If solid/crystals, compound can be dried by applying heat to remove the water of crystallization.

Drying agents are also utile in removing moisture from compounds in a dessicator. Substances which absorb water from air can be used as drying agents for gases. For instance, , CaO or silica gel is suitable for drying gases, depending on reactivity of the substance.

in scientific notation, the value of the  speed of light in a vacuum

  will be written as 2.995 * 10^8. when this value is represented in the form of

  a * 10^b, then, a = 2.995 and b = 8.

the value of the speed of light in a vacuum given above can also be rounded up to approximately 300000000. in this case, the scientific notation will be written as 3 *10^8.

both adhesion and cohesion are attractions.

they are different in that adhesion is the force of attraction between the molecules of two different substances, whereas cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance.

possible examples include capillary action, in which the adhesion between water and glass causes the water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity.

because of hydrogen bonding, water is extremely cohesive.

this causes molecules on the surface of water to be drawn inward, which is why drops of water form beads on smooth surfaces.
