Which application of hydrates best relies on the anhydrous compound’s ability to both absorb water and retain water?

1 answer:

6 0

The hydrates are molecules that have absorbed water from the environment.

Some anhydrous compounds are hygroscopic, which means that they absorb humidity (water) from the environment.

When an anhydrous compound absorb water it transform into a hydrate compound.

Then the obvious application of an ahydrous is to control or decrease the humidity in areas where it may cause the formation of mold or other damages to the surfaces (walls), packages (cardboard), or products (wood or food) contained in the area.

Would a topographic map of a mountain today have the same appearance in the future?

Sonja [21]

Changes in maps of any kind are possible in the future. The probability of a change in a topographic map representation of a mountain in the future increases the further into the future we intend to predict.

Topographic maps are useful to obtain a general overview of the land in a certain area. Among the many things that these maps show the user are:

Hills
Ridges
Valleys
Lakes
Rivers
Creeks
Trails
Roads
Elevation of the ground.

These contents can change based on natural occurrences. In the case of a mountain, natural disasters such as an earthquake or volcanic eruption can drastically change the topography of said mountain. The movement of tectonic plates is also a prime example of how the appearance of a mountain may change in the future.
