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).
Is bitter salt sea salt?
Sea salt is sodium chloride, bitter salt is Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate heptahydrate).
What product of an acid-base reaction is an ionic compound?
salt
Is salt in a salt solution is solvent or solute?
Solute, because it is the minor component in the solution and it is what dissolves in the solvent. For example: Salt Water - The salt is the solute that dissoles in the solvent, which is water.
Which word best describes the salt?
An adjective is a word that best describes the salt; for example much salt, little salt, or some salt.
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
Is oil hydroscopic?
No, but brake fluid is.
What is hydroscopic water?
Hydroscopic water refers to water that is condensed at a solid surface. This type of water has substances that have the ability to absorb moisture from the atmosphere.
What is another word for absorbs water?
hydroscopic
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/
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.
Why does salt speed rusting?
Salt increases the waters ability to carry electrons.These electrons take part in corrosion when oxidation and reduction occur. Oxidation is when a substance releases electrons. Reduction is when a substance gains the electrons that were released in the process of oxidation. Since these two processes have to occur together, they are called redox reactions. Salt is hydroscopic. This means that salt attracts water. Since water is needed for corrosion (along with oxygen), salt helps gather that water. Salt increases the water's ability to carry electrons. Electrons are transferred from one substance to another in the redox reactions of oxidation and reduction. This is when a substance loses or gains electrons, respectively. Salt is hydroscopic. This means that salt attracts water. Water is needed for corrosion, along with oxygen.
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 Ammonia unstable at room temperature?
Ammonia is stable but highly hydroscopic (it will dissolve in any available water, including water vapor in the air).
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 term hydroscopic means?
The word is misspelled and therefore has no definition. The spelling is hygroscopic. The definition of hygroscopic is: readily taking up and retaining moisture. The definition is from Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary.
Why does pita bread get hardened so fast?
It gives off its moisture readily, the reverse of hardened sugar which is hygrocopic (takes on moisture). I thought that hydroscopic could be an acceptable answer, though it's not a 'word'...........
