You talking about something like CuSO₄•5H₂O, CoCl₂•6H₂O and SnCl₂•2H₂O

Or, maybe, even something like:

H₂SO₄ + Ca(OH)₂ --> CaSO₄ + 2H₂O

or:

CH₃COOH + C₂H₅OH --> CH₃CO-OC₂H₅ + 2H₂O

or:

2AlH3 + 6CuO --> Al₂O₃ + 6Cu + 3H₂O

or:

CO₂(g) + 2H₂(g) → C(s) + 2H₂O(l) (Bosch reaction)

...
...

Between two solid chemicals:

(COOH)₂ (ossalic acid) + Ca(OH)₂ --> Ca(COO)₂ (calcium ossalate) + 2H₂O

Burn any of the huge number of possible hydrocarbons in air.
