Warming a hydrate prompts an endothermic response that creates a buildup known as the anhydrous compound. This compound is distinctive in structure, surface and even shading now and again, from its parent hydrate.

Answer:

anhydrous compound

Heating a hydrate leads to an endothermic reaction that produces a residue known as the anhydrous compound. This compound is different in structure, texture and even color in some cases, from its parent hydrate.
