A dehydrating agent is a substance that dries or removes water from material. It may be a chemical compound used to drive a dehydration reaction or a substance that absorbs moisture from its surroundings.
Dehydrating agents such as sulfuric acid, concentrated phosphoric acid, hot aluminum oxide, and hot ceramic are used in chemical reactions are where dehydration occurs by the reacting molecule losing a molecule of water.
Dehydration reactions in organic synthesis often result in the conversion of the reacting molecule from one type of compound to another, such as the conversion of alcohols to alkenes.
Dehydrating agents such as ethanol, butanol and isopropanol are used to clean and mount tissue slides for microscopic examination in medical laboratories.
