The process of ___ occurs when a hydrate loses its water of hydration.
Vinvika [58]

Let us understand all the terms

Hydration : this is the addition of water to anything. It can be addition of water to double or triple bond, absorption of water by a substance. so it cannot be loss of water.

Deliquescent : it is the absorption of water by a substance and getting dissolved in it. Like NaOH is a deliquescent substance.

Solvation: It is the phenomenon where a substance get surrounded by solvent molecules. If solvent is water it is known as hydration.

Thus the answer is

effloresce : where a substance loses water.

Which postulate of dalton's atomic theory not relevant anymore?explain
VLD [36.1K]

Modern atomic theory is, of course, a little more involved than Dalton's theory but the essence of Dalton's theory remains valid. Today we know that atoms can be destroyed via nuclear reactions but not by chemical reactions. Also, there are different kinds of atoms (differing by their masses) within an element that are known as "isotopes", but isotopes of an element have the same chemical properties.

Many heretofore unexplained chemical phenomena were quickly explained by Dalton with his theory. Dalton's theory quickly became the theoretical foundation in chemistry.

How can water and gravity work together to erode soil,sediment,and rock
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
Ever seen a waterfall ? what do you think happens when all that water slams into the ground below ? same as when you turn a hosepipe on a flowerbed.

also, there's hydraulic cracking where water gets into cracks and freezes, splitting rocks apart.

fast moving water can carry sediment and roll rocks along the bottom. if the water slows down, it drops the rocks and heavier sediment. if it floods a field, say, then drains away, the grass will also filter smaller particles out, or the water might evaporate and leave fine sediment behind.
