Question
Chapter 15.2, Problem 16LC
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: To determine the difference between the efflorescent and hygroscopic substances.
Concept Introduction: A substance known as an efflorescent contains water and will evaporatively lose water molecules when exposed to air. Cement drying is an illustration of this occurrence.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 16LC
Solids known as efflorescent compounds are capable of spontaneously losing water from salts that will be hydrated.
Solids known as hygroscopic substances can absorb water from their environment.
Explanation of Solution
There are some differences the efflorescent and hygroscopic substances.
Efflorescent | Hygroscopic substances |
(i ) They lose water spontaneously. | (i ) They absorb water. |
(ii) They cannot form a solution. | (ii) They cannot form a solution but can absorb water vapor. |
(iii) These are like a crystal. | (iii) These are humectants. |
