❤HEYAA CURIOUS❤
the answer is:
⭐iBecause they react irreversibly with water.......
⭐Explanation:
The hydride that is commonly used is calcium hydride.......
CaH2
, which is a dry powder, and fairly cheap, and reacts with water according to the following equation......
CaH2(s)+2H2O(l)–––>Ca(OH)2(s)+2H2(g)
Sodium hydride, and lithium aluminum hydride,LiAlH4 , can also be used in this manner; tho you do exercise caution with respect to the solvent that you want to dry.
HOPE THIS HELPS IF SO PLS MARK AS BRAINLIEST
