WHAT IS CATALYST,LIST OF COMMONLY USED CATALYST IN REACTIONS :

A catalyst is a substance that can be added to a reaction to increase the reaction rate without getting consumed in the process. Catalysts typically speed up a reaction by reducing the activation energy or changing the reaction mechanism. Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts in biochemical reactions.

HYGROSCOPIC MATERIAL

HYGROSCOPIC MATERIAL :  A  hygroscopic  substance is one that readily attracts water from its surroundings, through either absorption or adsorption. Examples include honey, glycerin, ethanol, methanol, concentrated sulfuric acid, and concentrated sodium hydroxide  (lye). Hygroscopy  is the phenomenon of attracting and holding  water   molecules  via either  absorption  or  adsorption  from the surrounding  environment , which is usually at normal or room temperature. If water molecules become suspended among the substance's molecules, adsorbing substances can become physically changed, e.g. changing in volume, boiling point, viscosity, or some other physical characteristic or property of the substance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srfsz9UsXSQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFcbJ15EqEM The word  hygroscopy  ( / h aɪ ˈ ɡ r ɒ s k ə p i / ) uses  combining forms  of  hygro-  and...
