Not all of them are. Those that do have that property have it because it's energetically favorable for them to either dissolve or have waters of hydration, which is unfortunately a kind of fancy scientific way of saying "it happens because it happens."

What can be done to prevent hygroscopic nature of ascorbic acid?

To prevent the hygroscopic nature of ascorbic acid, it can be stored in airtight containers to minimize moisture exposure. Additionally, incorporating desiccants or moisture-absorbing agents in the packaging can help maintain a dry environment. Formulating ascorbic acid into stable derivatives or using encapsulation techniques can also reduce its tendency to absorb moisture and enhance its stability. Lastly, keeping it in a cool, dry place away from humidity can further mitigate hygroscopic effects.

Why sodium hydroxide is hygroscopic?

Sodium hydroxide is hygroscopic because it has a strong affinity for water. It readily absorbs moisture from the air, forming a solution in water. This property is due to the highly polar nature of sodium hydroxide, which allows it to attract and bind to water molecules.


Is polyvinyl chloride PVC hygroscopic?

As far as I know, the PVC is not hygroscopic, it doesn't absorb the moisture. There are several types of PVC though, so there could be some hygroscopic PVC resin, but I haven't encountered it yet. Normally it is dried by hot air driers, which are not suitable for hygroscopic materials, therefore I assume PVC is not hygroscopic...
