differentiate between efforensfence and deliquescence
Answers
Answer:
Main Difference – Deliquescent vs Efflorescent vs Hygroscopic
Some substances can undergo physical changes when they are kept in an open place. This is due to absorption or adsorption of water vapor or release of water molecules from their structure. There is about 0-4% of water vapor in the air, depending on the location and the time of the day. Deliquescent substances are solids that can get dissolved by absorbing water vapor. But this absorption depends on the humidity of the environment. Efflorescent substances are crystals that can lose water molecules that are already present in their molecular structure. Hygroscopic substances are another type of solid matter that can either absorb or adsorb water vapor from the atmosphere. But these substances do not dissolve after the absorption. The main difference between deliquescent efflorescent and hygroscopic substances is that deliquescent substances form an aqueous solution by absorbing water vapor while efflorescent substances do not absorb water vapor and hygroscopic substances can absorb water vapor, but they do not form an aqueous solution.
Explanation:
Answer: Efflorescence is the loss of water crystallisation in the presence of air,but Deliquescence is the absorption is water and carbon dioxide and forms solid hydrated substances
