Detailed Solution

Concept- A hydrate is the compound containing water or its constituent elements.
An anhydrate is a hydrate substance without water or a hydrate with the water removed.
Only when we comprehend the distinction between these two concepts, hydrate and anhydrate, can we make the appropriate choice in this situation. The anhydrates are substances, similar to copper sulphate, with various hues and characteristics. So, to start, let's define these two as:
A hydrate is a substance that has a certain quantity of water molecules. The mole-to-mole ratio between the compound's anhydrate and water components will also be determined in the first stage.
Anhydrate is the name given to the material that remains after water is taken out of a hydrate. This is frequently accomplished by heating the chemical, which releases the water molecules as steam.
As can be seen from the definitions above, hydrate is a material that includes water, whereas anhydrate is a substance that has had the water removed.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
