What is deliquescene?

Answer 1

the process in which a soluble substance picks up water vapor from the air to fom a solution. In order for deliquescence to occur, the vapor pressure of the water in the air must be greater than the vapor pressure of the saturated solution.

Answer 2

Answer 3

Deliquescence is the tendency of something the gradually dissolve or liquefy from absorbing moisture from the air. Basically it means the tendency to dissolve or melt.
