Answer 2

Answer:

In the simplest described definition, a drying agent, as it pertains to industrial and chemical processes, is a term given to a chemical that works to remove water from a compound that is currently in solution. A compound that has been absorbing water for too long, or for an extended period of time, can become contaminated. Therefore, the application of a drying agent can prevent any contamination from happening by actively drying out all excess water. Examples of drying agents in use would be for food or electronics. In order for food to be preserved for a long period of time, a drying agent will be used in order to eliminate all liquids from the food, which would work to decay or spoil the food much quicker if it were not completely dry. Concerning electronics, it is no secret that water can corrupt and dismantle electronic components when immersed onto an electronic device (as many cell phone users already know, with much reluctance). A drying agent will immediately dry an accumulation of condensation or a mass of water on electronic equipment.
