yes, it is a drying agent
Baking soda is nothing but pure sodiumbicarbonate,NaHCO3.Baking powder contains not only sodiumbicarbonate but also an acidifying agent and a drying agent.
Sodium chloride is not used in laboratory as a drying agent.
drying agent absorbs the water content while dehydrating agent lost the water content.
Anhydrous magnesium sulphate is used quite a lot as a drying agent in organic chemical reactions..
Desiccant. Silica gel is a common one with a large water absorption, but a fairly high dew point. Phosphorous pentoxide is a powerful drying agent, but has some hazards with it. Ordinary CaSO4 is a common agent, with a low dew point, and is cheap, safe and easily recycled.
Alcohol dries faster than water because it acts as a drying agent. The chemical component for alcohol is what makes it a drying agent on a persons body as well as other materials.

Ammonium hydroxide's chemical formula is NH4OH. This is the primary ingredient in household ammonia, which is a cleaning agent. It has a characteristically awful smell.
No. It is a chemical salt that is used as a food additive, used in medicine, used for ice control on roads, and as a drying agent.
The drying itself is (always) a physical change.
a drying agent works by removing water molecules that may be contaminating a chemical product. Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO4) is an ionic salt. The charged Mg2+ and SO42- ions have a high affinity for water molecules and therefore are able to remove them from the product thus "drying it" of water. In this sense "drying" means "removing water" rather than "making less wet"
Concentrated sulphuric acid has the tendency to absorb moisture (or water). Hence it is used as a drying or dehydrating agent.
Bleach is a mixture of water and sodium hypochlorite, and is commonly used as a disinfectant or 'bleaching agent', or removing color and whitening. The chemical formula for Sodium Hypochlorite is NaClO.
No. Drying wood is a physical change because its chemical composition does not change.
Generally, no. Baking soda is used a raising agent. It wouldn't work well as a drying agent because it makes things basic, which can give foods a soapy taste.
The anhydrous form used as a drying agent is CaSO4 There are hydated forms, CaSO4 0.5H2O (plaster of paris) and CaSO4.2H2O, gypsum
No - the drying agent prevents the corrosion (rusting) of iron because the agent absorbs all the moisture and none if it will react with the iron nail thus no rust is made.
No - the drying agent prevents the corrosion (rusting) of iron because the agent absorbs all the moisture and none if it will react with the iron nail thus no rust is made.
No new chemical bonds need to be formed or existing chemical bonds broken during drying.
The chemical formula of dithyothreitol is C4H10O2S2. As applications it is a reducing agent.See also the link below.
A drying oven is used in a chemical laboratory for dehydrating a sample of material.
