What is a drying agent?
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.
What is the chemical compound name of CaSO4?
CaSO4, calcium sulfate, is sold under various names depending on what it's being used for. In one form it is called 'gypsum' (but that's a generic term, not a brand name). As a laboratory dessicant (drying agent) it is sold under the brand name Drierite.

Why does swirling or shaking a solution and its drying agent hasten the drying process?
Swirling or shaking a solution with a drying agent increases the surface area of contact between the solution and the drying agent, enhancing evaporation. This helps to remove moisture more efficiently compared to just letting the solution sit still.
What is the drying agent obtained flax?

Is quick lime a drying agent?
