What do you call a salt that loses its water of crystallisation on exposure to air and turn into amorphous powder?
A salt that loses its water of crystallization upon exposure to air and turns into an amorphous powder is called a "hygroscopic salt." These salts absorb moisture from the air, which can lead to their degradation into a non-crystalline form. Examples include certain forms of sodium sulfate and magnesium chloride.

What is a solids that loses its shape?
AnswerAn amorphous solid
What is the difference between deliquesent and efflorescent compounds?
efflorescent substances are substances which looses moisture partly or completely to the atmosphere and changes in to amorphous powder. deliquecent substances are substances which absorb moisture from the atmosphere and turn into a saturated solution.
What is condition of a cell in which cell contents are shrunken called?
The condition of a cell in which the cell contents are shrunken is called crenation. Crenation occurs when a cell loses water and shrinks due to exposure to a hypertonic solution, causing the cell membrane to pull away from the cell wall.
An enzyme is when it loses its native confirmation and its biological activity?
When an enzyme loses its native conformation, it results in a loss of its specific three-dimensional shape essential for its biological activity. This process, known as denaturation, can be caused by factors such as temperature, pH changes, or exposure to certain chemicals. Denaturation typically leads to a loss of enzyme function due to the disruption of the active site necessary for substrate binding and catalysis.
What happened to an Atom when it loses an electron?
It loses a negative charge and then becomes a positive ion
What happens if Copper Sulphate penta-hydrate is heated?
When copper sulfate pentahydrate is heated, it undergoes a dehydration reaction where the water molecules are released, leaving behind anhydrous copper sulfate. This process is reversible, and when anhydrous copper sulfate is exposed to moisture, it will reabsorb water and form copper sulfate pentahydrate again.

Why may a stored sample of Na2CO3.10H2O contain less water than a sample that was not stored?
Sodium carbonate decahydrate, Na2CO3.10H2O readily loses some of the water of crystallisation eventually forming the monohydrate. It is an efflorescent salt, and its composition will change with time.

When does powder detergent expire?
Powder detergent typically has a shelf life of about 6 to 12 months once opened. It's important to store it in a cool, dry place to maintain its effectiveness. If the detergent clumps up or loses its scent, it may have expired and should be replaced.
Is melting wax a solid liquid or gas?
that's a good question. It is a amorphous solid because it expands or gradually loses shape.
How metals change due to exposure to the air?
Some metals, namely iron, oxidize (that is the metal loses electrons) in the presence of air. This causes a chemical change to iron oxide, which is responsible for rusting.
What causes sodium carbonate crystals to crumble?
Sodium carbonate crystals can crumble due to exposure to moisture or changes in temperature, causing them to absorb water and break apart. Additionally, physical disturbances or improper handling can also lead to the crumbling of sodium carbonate crystals.
What is silicosis?
Acute. Acute silicosis develops within six months to two years of intense exposure to silica. The patient loses a great deal of weight and is constantly short of breath. These patients are at severe risk of TB.
