Answer:
A deliquescent salt is a type of hygroscopic salt, or one that pulls moisture from the atmosphere and absorbs it.
If a compound dissolves in water, then it is considered to be hydrophilic. Zinc chloride and calcium chloride, as well as potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide (and many different salts), are so hygroscopic that they readily dissolve in the water they absorb: this property is called deliquescence.
