Deliquescent salts are salts that have a hygroscopic property, which means they pull moisture from the air or their surrounding environment. "Deliquescing" means they pull so much moisture from the air that they (the salts) dissolve in their own solution. Examples of such salts are Calcium Chloride, Potassium Carbonate and Sodium Hydroxide.

For example : FeCl3 (CRYSTALS) -->FeCl3(SOLUTION)
NaOH (SOLID) --> NaOH (SOLUTION)

Can deliquescent salts use oxygen as a solvent?
No, this is an erroneous question !
Is potassium hydroxide hygroscopic efflorescent or deliquescent?
Potassium hydroxide is hygroscopic and deliquescent.
What is the difference between a deliquescent and hygroscopic substance?
The deliquescent substances becomes soluble after absorbing water from the surroundings i.e., a solution is produced. For e.g, calcium chloride. A hygroscopic substance only absorbs water.For e.g, sulphuric acid.
How does salt gain weight when exposed to the atmosphere?
Salt can gain weight when exposed to the atmosphere due to a process known as hygroscopy. This means that salt has the ability to absorb moisture from the air, leading to an increase in its weight. The absorbed moisture forms a thin layer of water molecules on the surface of the salt crystals, contributing to the weight gain.
Is magnesium sulphate deliquescent?
No. Mg(NO3)2 has to be heated to dissociate to MgO, NO2 and O2.
Can deliquescent salts use oxygen as a solvent?
No, this is an erroneous question !
How can deliquescent salts go into solution just by sitting on a counter?
they can grab molecules of solvent from the air

Is a alum deliquescent?
yes alum is deliquescent
Is NaOH deliquescent?
Yes, sodium hydroxide is extremely deliquescent.
Is potassium hydroxide hygroscopic efflorescent or deliquescent?
Potassium hydroxide is hygroscopic and deliquescent.
What are diliquescent solids?
Deliquescent solids, also called hygroscopic solids, are solids with a strong affinity for moisture. For instance, Calcium Chloride is deliquescent. Desiccants are a class of particularly deliquescent substances.
What is a deliquescent compound as it relates to chemistry?
A deliquescent solid compound absorb water from the atmosphere up to the formation of a solution.
Is sugar deliquescent?
Deliquescent refers to a solid substance that absorbs moisture from air and becomes liquid. This statement naturally assumes the air contains cold air, sugar will only dissolve in boiling water and is therefore not deliquescent
What are the example of efflorescent and deliquescent substance?
efflorescent- washing soda, copper sulphate, glauber salt deliquescent -calcium chloride, sodium hydroxide, iron3 chloride
What are the deliquescents of chlorine?
Chlorine is not deliquescent, but is dissolved in water.
What type of material are used in desicator?
Hygroscopic and deliquescent
