It is used as a dehydrating agent
Diphosphorus pentoxide (P2O5), otherwise known as phosphoric anhydride is most commonly used as a dehydrating agent for various organic syntheses.
Concentrated sulphuric acid and Concentrated Phosporic acid are good dehydrating agents.It removes water from alcohols to convert it into corresponding alkenes.
An aluminium silicate is a chemical compound composed of aluminium, silicon and oxygen, with the chemical formula Al2SiO5, used commercially as a food additive, E559, as an anti-caking agent.
Silicon carbide is a compound of silicon and carbon with chemical formula SiC. Silicon carbide was discovered by the American inventor Edward G. Acheson in 1891. Some cutting tools are created with Silicon carbide.
It is used as a dehydrating agent
A dehydrating agent is usually an acid which brings about loss of water molecule when used on an hydrated compound. A chelating agent is usually an electron donour (ligand) which forms a complex by coordinating with a metal using two or more donor groups of a single ligand.

* component in lead alloys used in bearings * makes up and keeps bones,teeth,shells,and leaves strong * reducing agent or dehydrating agent in organic chemistry
Silicon Dioxide is used as an anti-caking ingredient to keep spices from clumping/caking (sometimes referred to as a 'free flow agent'). Preservative.

Trisilicon tetranitride. it is commonly known as silicon nitride, althugh thereare other compounds of silicon and nitrogen. It forms a giant molecule.
No, silicon dioxide is a compound. There terms metal and nonmetal are used to describe elements.
Silicon is an element. It is not usually found as silicon but as a compound that makes up quartz.There is often a confusion with silicone which is a synthetic substance made up of silicon, oxygen and other elements, mostly carbon and hydrogen. Silicone is generally a liquid or a flexible, rubberlike plastic and it is often used in shampoo.
