Deliquescence
Explanation:
The process of absorption of moisture from the air is called as deliquescence. Then the absorbed moisture dissolves the substance and forms a solution or wet solid. The salt solutions generally cause deliquescence process only when the partial pressure of the atmosphere is more than the vapour pressure of the solution. Some of the examples of deliquescence substance that dissolves entirely are caustic soda (NaOH) and caustic potash (KOH). Other deliquescence substances are calcium chloride and sodium nitrates.
