What are hygroscopic tendencies?
refers to those substances which readily absorb moisture from the atmosphere
Is ethanol considered to be hygroscopic?
Hygroscopic substances include cellulose fiber such as ethanol, methanol and diesel fuel. As hydrogen bonding causes pure ethanol to readily absorbs water from the air, ethanol is considered to be hygroscopic.
What is the difference between efflorescent and hygroscopic?
Efflorescent substances (e.g. sodium carbonate decahydrate, copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate) lose some or all of their water of crystallisation when exposed to the air. Hygroscopic substances (e.g. concentrated sulphuric acid, calcium oxide) absorb water from the atmosphere but do not dissolve in it.
