You just put a (greek something) hydrate after your first chemical name. It's really easy, you just add your "hyrdrate" after the compound. It's pretty simple.

Hydrates get there name because they have water within themselves. These hydrates have water and various other types of elements. This is used alot in chemistry equations today.

If there is one molecule, use mono and so on and so forth. Then you end it with hydrate. A hydrate is a water molecule.

basically all you have is a number in front of the water molecule that is attached to a compound. Then you use that number as a prefix such as monohydrate.

A hydrate can get its name because it contains water. Whatever number is in front of the formula is how you name it. Then you add hydrate after that.

When naming a hydrate all you have to do is find the number of water molecules associates with each formula unit of the compund and write your following formula as a dot.
