Hydrates are crystalline solids that contain a fixed number of  water molecules as an integral part of their crystalline structure.  The number of water molecules bound per â¦ metal ion is often  characteristic of that particular metal ion.ne of the more common  hydrates is copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate, which contains 5 moles  of water per 1 mol of copper(II) sulfate, written as CuSO4ÃÂ·CUSO4Ã¢.  5h2o it is used as a catalytic, precursor, fungicide and as a source  of copper in chemical manufacturing. processes
