Salt Hydrates - Melting points and Latent Melting Energy
Melting points and latent energy of salt hydrates.
The latent heat of melting salt hydrates can be used for storing energy.

|---|---|---|
| CaCl2 (Calcium Chloride) 6H2O | 29 | 281 |
| Na2SO4 (Sodium Sulfate) 10H2O | 32 | 342 |
| Na2CO3 (Sodium Carbonate) 10H2O | 33 | 360 |
| Na2HPO4 (Dibasic Sodium Orthophosphate) 12H2O | 35 | 205 |
| Na2HPO4 (Dibasic Sodium Orthophosphate) 7H2O | 48 | 302 |
| Na2S2O3 (Sodium Thiosulphate) 5H2O | 48 | 346 |
| Ba(OH)2 (Barium Hydroxide) 8H2O | 78 | 655 |
