For example — "high purity chloride salt of Zinc (ZnCl₂ . 2 H₂O)$(\ce{ZnCl2.2H2O})$" or "various concentrations of FeCl₂ . 4 H₂O"$\ce{FeCl2.4H2O}$". What does the number before H₂O$\ce{H2O}$ mean?

For example — "high purity chloride salt of Zinc (ZnCl₂ . 2 H₂O)" or "various concentrations of FeCl₂ . 4 H₂O". What does the number before H₂O mean?

For example — "high purity chloride salt of Zinc $(\ce{ZnCl2.2H2O})$" or "various concentrations of $\ce{FeCl2.4H2O}$". What does the number before $\ce{H2O}$ mean?
