    Anhydrous chemicals contain no water molecules in their crystal structure, unlike many "dry" chemicals that still contain some water. While water content can be accounted for, anhydrous chemicals are often more convenient for formulas. Additionally, many dry chemicals are hygroscopic and will absorb water from the air if not stored properly.

    anhydrous - without water Many dry chemicals may contain some water as part of the crystal structure.

    Although this can often be compensated for in making up formulas, it is often more convenient to use chemicals that contain no water, that is, that are anhydrous. Many dry chemicals are hygroscopic. See hydration number.
