May CoSO4.7H2O be desicated at room temperature without loss of the waters of crystalization? This material is quite hygroscopic, and I need a way to keep the material at its formula weight, without adsorbed atmospheric water. |

There is no answer at this time. |

yo lizardbreath, pardon my chemistry but isn't dessication a process to make a compound loose its water? but if you are thinking about keeping a dry environment, you might have a problem, as if you keep it too dry the water could dissociate... maybe u want to dry to build a simple dry chamber using other hygroscopic compounds i.e. use other compounds that are more hygroscopic than cobalt sulfate to take away the atmospheric water. |

That is the issue...to remove non-specifically adsorbed water without removal of the stoichiometrically bound water. The formula weight includes the latter but not the former. |
