Answer 2

$\huge\sf\green{\underline{ANSWER}}$

Deliquescence refers to the property of a substance to absorb water from the air to dissolve itself and form an aqueous solution.

In order to be deliquescent, a substance must both absorb a large amount of water and be sufficiently soluble to dissolve in it.

EXAMPLES:

• Sodium hydroxide
• Calcium chloride
