What is another word for absorbs water?
hydroscopic
Is Ammonia unstable at room temperature?
Ammonia is stable but highly hydroscopic (it will dissolve in any available water, including water vapor in the air).
What are hydroscopic substances and what are they used for?
Hygroscopic substances are chemicals that are easily dissolvable in water. One way in which they are used is as a dessicant.
Is oil hydroscopic?
No, but brake fluid is.
What is a hydroscopic salt?
NaOH - sodium hydroxide
Why you add calcium oxide when making ammonia?
Calcium oxide is a drying agent---it is used to wick away any water that wants to condense into the reaction (because ammonia is extremely hydroscopic).
What is the difference between Hygroscopic and hydrophilic component?
"http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_difference_between_hydroscopic_and_hygroscopic" That's easy. Hydroscopic is not a word. The true term is "hygroscopic" and it refers to a material or solution that readily uptakes moisture from the atmosphere. FYI...a hydroscope is a sort of microscope used to look into deep water. I guess "hydroscopic" could be used to refer to the way in which an image was obtained via the hydroscope. So it probably really is a word.
What are bacel hydroscopic flakes?
Bacel Hydroscopic flakes are presently known as Hydrocell Flakes, used for lightweight potting media, lightweight roof gardens, watersaving in sport golf and lanscaping see also: http://www.aquaresinstechnologies.com/en/resins_agro_b.v./hydrocell/
Why does common salts become sticky during rainy season?
Common salt becomes sticky during rainy season as it traps the water molecules and then stick to it.......... hence we can say that common salt is hydroscopic in nature
What is Brake fluid use by date?
Brake fluid is hydroscopic. It absorbs moisture out of the air. That gives unsealed brake fluid a shelf life.
Is peanut butter made out of butter?
Not usually although it is possible...soap is usually made out of a base like lye. Most soap has a dual affinity for water. One end of the molecule is hydroscopic while the other end is hydrophobic. The hydrophobic end will attach itself to grease(and other lipids) surrounding it. The hydroscopic end will then attach itself to water and allow the lipid to be dissolved within the shell of soap. Peanut butter is largely hydrophobic so you could use peanut butter for this purpose but it would require some chemical rearrangment to be effective.
Is sodium nitrate soluble in water?
Yes, because most nitrates are soluble, and very nearly all simple sodium salts are soluble.
