We need to classify the given substances as deliquescent or hygroscopic. Let's first look at what these substances are.
- Deliquescent substances are those substances that have the tendency to become liquid by absorbing moisture from their surroundings. They tend to dissolve in the absorbed moisture and make their own solution. Eg. Calcium Chloride
- Hygroscopic substances are those that just absorb moisture from their surroundings. They do not have the tendency to dissolve in it or become liquids. Eg. Sulphuric acid, Silica Gel, Gypsum salt, Copper Sulphatepentahydrate.

Deliquescent substances are Copper sulphate penta hydrate, gypsum salt, and Calcium chloride.
Hygroscopic substances are conc sulphuric acid, and silica gel.
Explanation:
- Deliquescent substances and Hygroscopic substances are very closely related with each other.
- But they are absolutely different from each other.
- Both of them have tendency to absorb water from their surroundings.
- But, deliquescent substances are defined as those substances that have tendency to absorb water from their surroundings, and they tend to get dissolved into the liquid.
- And hygroscopic substances are those substances that absorb moisture from their surroundings, but they don't get dissolved in the liquid.
- So hygroscopic substances can be used as drying agents.
- But as the deliquescent substances get dissolved in liquid, so they can't be used as drying agents.
