detergent become moist in rainy season explain it
Answers
Detergents are kinds of cleansing agents that make the dirt and impurities water soluble and easy to clean. It is a water-soluble substance and unlike soaps, it does not form any foam or deposits when mixed with water.
These detergents are sometimes used as bleaching agents also. They need to be prepared carefully with the right amount of moisture. A few abrasive detergents contain high amounts of calcium carbonate or calcite. They also contain chloride derivatives of cyanuric acid. These compounds tend to break down into hypochlorites when they come in contact with excess moisture or with water. They cannot absorb water and hold them. Also, the presence of impurities like MgCl₂ and CaCl₂ makes them moist during the rainy seasons when the atmospheric humidity and moisture is high.
In rainy season detergents being anhydrous absorb water from air and form hydrate complex which feels moist...
Eg. Detergents contain anhydrous Na2CO3, on reaction with moisture it gives Na2CO3.10H2O which is moist...
