Substance employed as drying agents are usually
Answer Details
Drying agents are substances used to remove moisture from other substances. The most suitable drying agents are usually hygroscopic, meaning they attract and hold onto water molecules. Therefore, the correct answer is "hygroscopic". Amphoteric substances can react as both acids and bases, efflorescent substances lose water when exposed to air, and acidic substances have a pH less than 7.
